Construction quantity takeoff services built for measurement, not pricing

Quantity takeoff services involve measuring and calculating the quantities of materials required for a construction project based on architectural drawings, blueprints, and project specifications. These services cover materials such as concrete, steel, lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, and other building components. Accurate quantity takeoffs help construction professionals plan material procurement, minimise waste, manage resources, and maintain better control over project requirements from the planning stage through completion. As a quantity takeoff company, we focus entirely on turning drawings and specifications into accurate, organized quantities - the material takeoff services your estimating, purchasing, or bidding process depends on.

Quantity Takeoff Services

Quantity Takeoff Services determine how much material or work is required, measured directly from drawings and specs.

Blueprint Estimating Services review and interpret construction blueprints and plan sets.

Construction Estimating Services add material, labor, equipment, subcontractor, overhead, and profit costs to a takeoff.

Bid Estimating Services prepare complete, compliant, submission-ready bids from priced estimates.

Who We Serve

Our quantity takeoff estimators support every role that needs accurate quantities before pricing or purchasing decisions are made. General contractors use full drawing-set takeoffs for bid preparation and buyout. Subcontractors and trade contractors use trade-specific takeoffs scoped to a single division. Builders use material quantities for home and light-commercial projects. Developers use early-stage quantities to support budgeting and feasibility work. Suppliers use material quantities organized for purchasing and delivery planning. Architects use quantities to check design intent against buildable scope. Engineers use quantities to support structural, MEP, or civil design review. Construction managers use independent quantity checks against subcontractor submittals.

Our Building Material Takeoff Deliverables

Takeoff reports are delivered as an editable package, organized so quantities are easy to check, adjust, and hand off to pricing.

DV–01 · Trade-wise quantity summaries

Quantities grouped by trade and by CSI division for quick reference.

DV–02 · Lengths, areas & volumes

Linear, square, and cubic measurements shown with their source sheet.

DV–03 · Weights

Weight-based quantities for steel, rebar, and other applicable materials.

DV–04 · Marked-up drawings

Color-coded takeoff markups showing exactly what was measured and where.

DV–05 · Revision notes

A record of what changed between drawing revisions and how quantities were updated.

DV–06 · Assumptions & exclusions

Any assumption made or item excluded from the takeoff, documented in writing.

DV–07 · Clarification notes

Open questions raised during measurement, with the answer noted once resolved.

DV–08 · Editable Excel reports

The full quantity takeoff in an editable spreadsheet, organized by trade.

Marked-up drawings show exactly what was measured and where, and the Excel report stays editable so your team can sort, adjust, and hand the quantities off to pricing.

Measurements We Provide

Every digital quantity takeoff is built from these core measurement types, applied trade by trade across your drawing set.

  • MQ–01 · Square footage - Floor, wall, ceiling, and roof areas measured directly from plan and elevation drawings.
  • MQ–02 · Linear footage - Wall lengths, framing runs, piping, conduit, and trim measured along their full run.
  • MQ–03 · Cubic yards - Concrete, excavation, and fill volumes calculated from measured area and depth or thickness.
  • MQ–04 · Item counts - Doors, windows, fixtures, outlets, and other countable components tallied by type.
  • MQ–05 · Material quantities - Quantities organized by material type and unit, ready to feed pricing or procurement.
  • MQ–06 · Marked-up drawings - Your drawings returned with color-coded markups showing exactly what was measured and where.

How every takeoff is checked before delivery

Scale verification confirms drawing scale against known dimensions before measurement, and it is re-checked if a sheet looks inconsistent. Revision tracking compares drawing revisions against the prior set so updated quantities reflect the current design. A drawing-to-spec cross-check confirms materials and counts are consistent with the specifications. A second estimator reviews measurements and organization before the report is delivered.

What affects takeoff fees and turnaround time. Every drawing set is different, so fees and turnaround are quoted per project rather than fixed to a flat rate. Larger projects take longer to measure and organize. More drawing sheets add review and measurement time. A single-trade takeoff turns faster than a full drawing-set takeoff. Incomplete or preliminary drawings take longer to interpret. Drawings without a clear or consistent scale require extra verification. Detailed specs speed up material identification. Each drawing revision adds a re-measurement pass. Irregular geometry and complex assemblies take longer to measure accurately. Tight deadlines can be accommodated but may affect scheduling and fee.
