Flooring Estimating & Takeoff Services

Expert Division 9 flooring takeoffs and cost estimates tailored to minimise waste, with every pattern, inlay and design element accounted for. A trade estimator handles the flooring estimating & scope, confirms the fee before starting, and lists every assumption and.

Flooring estimating

Complex patterns, exact quantities

Flooring can disrupt an otherwise tidy estimate. Handing it to a professional team keeps your schedule clear and lets you focus on managing bids instead of measuring floor plans. We deliver material takeoffs and cost estimates for flooring contractors, installation companies, carpet mills, architects, designers and manufacturers, tailored to minimise waste with every pattern, inlay and design element considered. Our estimators work in PlanSwift, On-Center and Bluebeam, and have delivered flooring estimates including access flooring, stair details and stair nosing for apartments, hotels, restaurants, schools, hospitals, arenas, banks, libraries and stores.

We also supply easy-to-follow seaming diagrams for installers.

Nothing in the flooring estimating & package is a lump-sum allowance, materials, labour hours, equipment and waste factors are separated so you can adjust markup line by line on bid day.
