Quantity Measurement

The core component of construction estimating services is the precise measurement of all the materials required for the project. This involves quantifying materials such as concrete, steel, lumber, and more. Modern technology, including computer-aided takeoff software, helps streamline this process, reducing the margin for error.

Labor Estimation

In addition to materials, labor costs are a significant portion of any construction project. Takeoff services account for the labor hours needed for various tasks, helping contractors make informed staffing decisions and maintain labor budgets.

Subcontractor Costs

For many construction projects, subcontractors are essential. Takeoff services also factor in subcontractor costs, ensuring that all aspects of the project are accounted for in the estimation.

Equipment Costs

Heavy machinery and equipment play a vital role in construction projects. Accurate takeoff services include estimating the costs associated with equipment rental, operation, and maintenance.

Overhead and Contingency Costs

Construction takeoff services account for overhead expenses, such as office operations, insurance, and other administrative costs. Additionally, contingency costs are included to accommodate unforeseen circumstances that may arise during the project.
