Estimating Support.
Built for Pennsylvania Projects.
Our material takeoff process begins with the current architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings together with specifications, schedules, bid documents, and addenda. Scope is defined before measuring so areas, lengths, volumes, counts, assemblies, materials, alternates, demolition, exclusions, and project phases are organized correctly.
Material Takeoff
Detailed material takeoffs covering concrete, rebar, masonry, wood and metal framing, drywall, roofing, flooring, painting, structural steel, finishes, and MEP components, with material summaries, measurement worksheets, marked-up drawings, trade breakdowns, CSI-based organization, assumptions, scope notes, and revision updates.
- Residential, commercial & multifamily
- Detailed line-item cost breakdowns
- Value engineering recommendations
- CSI-formatted deliverables
Quantity Takeoff
Material takeoffs measure construction scope using cubic yards, square feet, linear feet, tons, pounds, individual counts, areas, lengths, volumes, and assemblies. Quantities can be organized by trade, building, floor, unit type, material, or CSI division so contractors can review and price the work efficiently.
- PDF & CAD plan takeoffs
- Earthwork, steel & finishes
- Itemised Excel & PDF reports
- Architect & engineer coordination
Bid Preparation
Material takeoffs focus on measurable project quantities rather than final pricing. Contractors can use organized quantities with their own supplier prices, labor rates, freight, waste factors, equipment, overhead, profit, and bidding strategy, or combine the takeoff with additional construction estimating support.
- MasterFormat CSI reports
- Subcontractor scope drafts
- Addendum monitoring
- Competitive bid strategies
Pre-Construction Estimating
Material takeoffs support supplier quote requests, procurement planning, bid preparation, material orders, delivery planning, scope review, subcontractor comparison, addenda, and revised drawings. Marked-up plans provide visual backup for measured areas, lengths, counts, scope boundaries, and takeoff references.
- Conceptual & schematic estimates
- Cost-per-sqft benchmarking
- Cash flow projections
- Owner's project budgets
Built for the People Pricing the Project.
Whether you are pricing commercial construction in Philadelphia, a project in Pittsburgh, multifamily construction, residential work, a warehouse, institutional building, renovation, or an individual trade package elsewhere in Pennsylvania, detailed takeoffs provide a clearer foundation for supplier pricing, procurement, and bid preparation.
