Concrete Estimating
Home Our Trades Concrete Estimating Concrete Estimating Concrete takeoffs and estimates covering formwork contact area, reinforcing weight, cubic yards placed, and the finishing and curing labor that usually gets underestimated.
What our concrete scope includes
Concrete takeoffs and estimates covering formwork contact area, reinforcing weight, cubic yards placed, and the finishing and curing labor that usually gets underestimated. You receive the concrete numbers in an editable Excel workbook, organised by CSI division, with a colour-coded plan set behind every line item so each figure can be traced back to the sheet it came from.
A trade estimator who works on concrete packages every week handles the file, confirms the fee and delivery date before opening the drawings, and lists every assumption and exclusion in writing.
Turnaround is normally 24 to 48 hours, and when addenda change the concrete scope the revised quantities are issued without a second invoice.
