Incomplete blueprints
How we handle takeoffs when blueprints aren't 100% complete
We regularly provide blueprint takeoff services to architects and contractors working with incomplete drawings, a common situation when bids need to go out to owners quickly. In these cases, we build defensible, assumption-based takeoffs grounded in details from comparable past projects.
- Defensible, assumption-based takeoffs grounded in comparable past projects
- Material quantity takeoffs prepared in your specific units, square footage for bidding or item counts for supplier orders
For contractors
How contractors can determine costs and prepare accurate quotes
First, get your takeoffs done by a specialist, and Estimator Expert is built exactly for that. From there, verify costs on your end, adjust for better vendor quotes and profit margins (we can help with that too), and finalize your bid. Building an in-house database of per-square-foot project costs and item costs, based on similar past projects, helps you benchmark new bids and confirm they fall within a reasonable range, improving your markup and your odds of winning.

Outsourcing
How outsourcing takeoffs helps you win more business
Performing takeoffs in-house is time-consuming, and without the right expertise, it's easy to fall short on quantities. Even with an in-house estimator, it's often difficult to generate enough bids of quantities to win consistent work and keep the business growing. Outsourcing takes that burden off your team, freeing up time for your estimator to focus on pricing, profit margins, submitting bids to GCs, and following up.
