Deliverables
What you get
Excel quantity takeoff
Quantities by item, area and level, with units that match how your trade prices work.
Marked-up drawings
Color-coded plans showing every measured area, length and count, so you can verify the takeoff.
Waste and assumptions
Waste factors and assumptions are listed separately, never hidden in the quantities.
Ready for your pricing
Add your own unit costs, or choose Pricing + Takeoff and we'll price it for you.

Frequently asked questions
What file formats do you work from?
PDF plan sets are best. We can also work from most CAD exports and image files.
Do you include waste?
Yes, and we list it separately so you can see net and gross quantities and use your own factors if you prefer.
Can you do takeoff only, without pricing?
Yes. Choose Takeoff only when you order. You can upgrade to Pricing + Takeoff later.
How do I check your quantities?
Every takeoff comes with marked-up drawings that show exactly what was measured and where.
