Who we work with
Trusted by every side of the project
Developers
In the early stages of planning, developers and investors need accurate quantity takeoffs and material costs to determine whether a project is worth pursuing. We provide reliable preliminary estimates based on square footage costs, helping developers make confident, informed decisions before committing time and money.
General Contractors
GCs often turn to us to verify bids submitted by subcontractors before committing to a project, regardless of construction configuration or delivery method. Our estimators deliver precise, pre-construction final quantity takeoffs that help lock in solid numbers for the project.
Subcontractors
Performing takeoffs in-house is time-consuming and pulls focus away from core work. That's why many subcontractors come to us for precise, detailed takeoffs, helping finalize bids for owners and general contractors within 24–48 hours, at up to 60% less than the cost of in-house estimating. Our takeoffs support bidding, procurement, and supply needs alike.
Homeowners & Builders
Homebuilders and owners want to know their investment makes sense before moving forward. Our estimators provide accurate material and labor pricing early on, helping with financing applications, supplier quotes, and bid verification.
Architects & Designers
Architects must stay within their client's defined budget while developing drawing plans. We provide accurate takeoffs and design estimates at every phase of planning and design to help keep projects on track financially.
Vendors
Precise material takeoffs help vendors and retailers recommend the right quantities to their clients, supporting stronger sales and long-term business relationships, while also reducing waste and unnecessary change orders.
Why outsource
Why outsource your quantity takeoffs to us?
Outsourcing your material takeoffs is one of the smartest moves you can make. It frees you from tedious paperwork, lets you focus on your core business, and ensures your estimates are handled accurately and professionally, all within a fast turnaround. It also eliminates the cost of hiring a full-time estimator, without ever compromising on accuracy.
Cost-Effective Solutions
Our quantity takeoffs typically run around $200 per trade, depending on project complexity. We also offer monthly takeoff packages that can save up to 60% compared to hiring an in-house estimator.
Accuracy
Using industry-leading software like PlanSwift, RS Means, and our extensive location-based pricing database, we ensure every takeoff is accurate. Each estimate goes through a double-verification process, reviewed first by our estimators and quantity surveyors, then again by a senior project manager.
Fast Turnaround Times
We offer some of the fastest turnaround times in the industry, 24 to 48 hours. Concrete, masonry, painting, drywall, and lumber takeoffs are typically delivered within 24 hours; mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and structural steel takeoffs within 36 hours; and a complete residential takeoff within 48 hours. Commercial project timelines vary based on complexity.
A precise cost database
We rely on RS Means, Craftsman, and our own extensive, regularly updated pricing database, accounting for zip-code and location-specific pricing. We're also happy to work with your preferred local vendor or labor pricing.
Software proficiency
Our estimators are proficient in industry-leading takeoff and estimating software.
Digital takeoff
We measure quantities using advanced digital software like PlanSwift, which imports drawing plans directly and allows for precise, point-and-click quantity takeoffs, eliminating the errors common with manual calculation. We accept drawings in the following formats:
