About Service

What Are Construction Takeoff Services?

Construction takeoff services involve measuring project drawings and calculating the exact quantities of materials required for a build. A proper takeoff may include concrete, masonry, metals, lumber, drywall, insulation, roofing, waterproofing, doors, windows, flooring, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and sitework quantities. These quantities become the foundation for accurate pricing, procurement planning, and bid preparation.

If you need pricing after the quantities are measured, our construction estimating service can convert the takeoff into a full cost estimate with labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor pricing. Contractors who only need material measurements can use this page, while contractors needing full cost breakdowns can use our related estimating services.
