Duct Takeoff Services

Rectangular, round, oval and spiral duct quantified with joints, stiffeners, liners, hangers and fittings, delivered as a clean bill of material for fabrication and installation. Every duct quantity is measured on screen from your drawings and priced with zip-code based.

Duct takeoff

A precise bill of material for every duct shape

Duct fabricators, sheet metal contractors, wholesalers and distributors bring us both short-term and ongoing takeoff demands, and our estimators translate every drawing into a clear bill of material that breaks down each component of the ductwork scope. We cover the full range of duct shapes, spiral, rectangular, oval and round, pricing joints, tie-rods, duct liner, stiffeners, accessories, fittings, hangers and raw sheet metal, along with die sets, operational equipment, logistics and labour.

Value engineering is applied wherever it protects budget without compromising performance, and every takeoff is priced against a construction cost database refreshed regularly using RSMeans and zip-code based rates.

Every duct quantity is measured on screen from your own drawings and specifications, then priced with zip-code based material and labour rates rather than national averages.
