Construction Quantity Takeoff Services for US Contractors

Drawing-based material quantities for general contractors, trade subcontractors and preconstruction teams. Define the scope, inspect a sample, and request a quote for your bid documents.

Construction drawing and estimating context

Choose the package your bid needs

Quantity takeoff

Measured scope organized by trade, assembly and unit for contractors who apply their own pricing. Identify drawing revisions, measurement boundaries and unresolved details before using the quantities.

Quantity takeoff scope and workflow

Material takeoff

Material schedules organized for supplier review, with sizes, specifications and agreed location breakdowns. Keep net measurements separate from waste, packaging and ordering allowances.

Material schedules and procurement scope

Construction estimating

Request pricing support when the bid needs costs as well as quantities. The proposal should identify the pricing basis, labor assumptions, equipment and contractor-supplied rates.

Construction estimating services

Inspect the quantities behind the presentation

Explore four existing sample excerpts: drywall and insulation, electrical, structural concrete and coordinated MEP. Compare descriptions, original quantity precision, units and workbook row references, then open the associated drawing previews. Pricing and raw workbooks are excluded from the public presentation.

From drawing set to reviewable quantity schedule

  1. Define the documents and boundaries. Provide the drawing issue, addenda and requested divisions. Identify alternates, existing work, demolition and exclusions.
  2. Confirm the proposal. Agree the requested output, pricing scope if any, fee and delivery availability before work starts.
  3. Measure and record assumptions. Separate area, length, volume and counted items. Flag missing dimensions and unresolved details; assumptions are not design decisions.
  4. Review before bidding or ordering. Check the schedule against the included sheets, revision register and scope notes. Have the contractor and supplier confirm purchase quantities and packaging.

Read the review checklist and publication policy or contact the business behind the service.

Useful before you submit plans

Measurement checks

Check basic geometry and unit conversions with the quantity takeoff calculator. Its results are dimensional checks, not a complete bid takeoff.

Scope review

Use the document and scope checklists to prepare drawings and identify responsibilities between trades.

Remote US coverage

Review state service coverage. Local code adoption and engineering requirements must be confirmed with the project jurisdiction and design team.

Quantity takeoff questions

Does a quantity takeoff include construction pricing?

A quantities-only scope measures materials without assigning prices. If you need a priced estimate, request it separately so the proposal can define labor, material pricing sources, equipment, allowances and exclusions.

What should I send to request a quote?

Send the current drawing set, relevant specifications and addenda, requested trades, project location and bid deadline. Identify alternates, phases and any client spreadsheet template. We confirm scope, fee and delivery availability after reviewing the documents.

Can I inspect a sample before sending drawings?

Yes. The sample portfolio contains four selected excerpts for drywall, electrical, concrete and coordinated MEP. It shows quantity rows, units, source references and drawing previews. Excerpts are not complete project estimates or customer bid results.

Do you operate a physical office in every state?

Service is provided remotely from project documents. State coverage pages describe service availability and regional planning topics; they do not represent physical offices in those states.
