Contact Us Directly →
What is included in a material takeoff?
A material takeoff can include material quantities, area measurements, linear measurements, counts, material summaries, marked-up drawings, measurement worksheets, Excel reports, PDF reports, CSI breakdowns, and revision support.
What is the difference between a material takeoff and a construction cost estimate?
A material takeoff identifies the quantities required for construction. A construction cost estimate uses those quantities and adds material pricing, labor, equipment, subcontractor costs, and other project expenses.
Can DEKR provide a takeoff without pricing?
Yes. DEKR offers quantity-only takeoffs that contractors can use with their own supplier rates, labor costs, overhead, and markup.
Can DEKR prepare takeoffs from conceptual drawings?
Yes. DEKR states that preliminary takeoffs can be prepared from conceptual and design-development drawings, although the level of detail depends on the available documents.
What building codes currently apply in Nashville?
Metro Nashville currently lists the 2024 International Building Code, 2024 International Residential Code, 2024 International Existing Building Code, 2024 International Energy Conservation Code, 2024 plumbing, mechanical and fuel-gas codes, the 2023 National Electrical Code, and 2017 ICC A117.1 among its adopted standards, with local amendments.
