Services
Eliminate guesswork and bid with confidence using professional quantity takeoff services from DEKR Estimation. Our estimators provide precise material quantity calculations from construction drawings and specifications, helping contractors reduce errors, improve bid accuracy, and save valuable time during the estimating process.
What Are Quantity Takeoff Services?
Quantity takeoff services involve measuring and calculating the materials, components, and quantities required to complete a construction project. Takeoffs are one of the most important steps in the estimating process because accurate quantities directly impact project budgets, procurement planning, labor forecasting, and bid preparation.
A professional quantity takeoff identifies every measurable component shown within construction drawings and specifications, ensuring contractors have a clear understanding of material requirements before submitting bids.
At DEKR Estimation, we perform detailed digital takeoffs using industry-leading software and proven estimating methodologies. Our takeoffs help contractors improve estimating efficiency, reduce material waste, and submit more competitive bids.

Why Contractors Outsource Quantity Takeoffs
Quantity takeoffs require time, accuracy, software, and careful document review. When bid deadlines are tight, measuring every material item in-house can slow down your team and limit the number of projects you can pursue.
Outsourcing quantity takeoffs to DEKR helps contractors save time, reduce estimating workload, improve quantity accuracy, and increase bid volume without hiring additional full-time estimators.
