Commercial
Takeoffs Services for Contractors
We understand the pressure commercial contractors face when managing multiple bids and large-scale projects. With our expertise in using advanced tools like Bluebeam Revu and PlanSwift, we deliver reliable, error-free takeoffs that cover all construction divisions.
How Do We Prepare the Estimate?
Once we receive project documents, our specialists import the plans using advanced software and begin the takeoff process by digitally measuring dimensions and quantities with precision. All material quantities are then organized into Excel sheets and sorted by Division category or cost type for easy review and vendor pricing.
To ensure accuracy and market alignment, we use trusted resources like the Cost Estimator Book and RS Means to apply material costs based on zip codes, along with labor rates categorized by union and standard wages, including overtime. Before delivery, a QA Engineer thoroughly reviews every estimate to ensure quality and compliance. Ready to improve your estimating process?
