From drawing.
To quantity.
To cost.

A takeoff measures the scope. A cost estimate applies the agreed material and labor pricing assumptions. Define which deliverables your bid needs before the work starts.

Illustrative format shown; not a client deliverable.

An estimate you
can review.

We organize the agreed scope so you can see what has been measured, what has been priced, and what still requires clarification.

Quantity takeoffs

Drawing-referenced quantities for the selected trades, with appropriate units and a clear connection to the plans. Material-only takeoffs can be scoped separately from cost estimating.

Material and labor breakdowns

Line items organized by trade or CSI division, with the pricing basis, project location, and scope assumptions agreed for the assignment.

Defined inclusions and exclusions

Clarify alternates, addenda, missing information, waste factors, and any work outside the supplied documents. These decisions belong in the scope, not hidden in a total.

Reviewable deliverables

Excel estimate schedules and PDF takeoff documentation as agreed. PlanSwift, Bluebeam, and Excel support the estimating workflow.

One trade.
Or a broader bid.

Residential and commercial scopes can be reviewed by trade. Share the complete set for the areas you want included.

Supported trades

Concrete, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, masonry, roofing, sitework, flooring, and painting. Confirm the specific scope when requesting your quote.

What to send

Current drawings and specifications, relevant addenda, project location, required trades, bid deadline, and any required pricing format.

What to confirm

Tell us whether you need measured quantities only or a priced estimate. Include your preferred assumptions and any exclusions already agreed with the project team.

Before we begin.

Is a takeoff the same as an estimate?

A takeoff records measured quantities. A cost estimate uses quantities together with pricing and labor assumptions. Your proposal should identify which of these deliverables is included.

Can you estimate a single trade?

Yes. Share the drawings and the trade scope to be reviewed. The quote will define the documents, inclusions, deliverables, and schedule for that assignment.

Can you promise a bid price or result?

An estimate supports your review and pricing decisions. Final bids depend on your scope, supplier and subcontractor quotations, market conditions, and commercial judgment.
