What Are Quantity Takeoff Services?
Quantity takeoff services provide the measured foundation for every estimate. Our quantity surveyors measure each work item on the drawings, record it in the correct unit and organize it by CSI MasterFormat division so it can be priced consistently.
Quantity takeoffs are ideal for contractors who have their own pricing databases and crew rates but need to offload the time-consuming measurement work. You receive clean quantities; you apply your own numbers.
Because every quantity is traced on marked-up drawings, you can verify our work in minutes and reuse the takeoff when addenda arrive.
