What you get from a quantity takeoff service before you price a job

Before a job gets priced, someone has to work out how much of everything it actually needs. A quantity takeoff service is that step, done properly, before a single rate gets applied.

Reading the drawings before measuring anything

A takeoff starts with checking which revision is current and whether the specification matches what's drawn. Measuring confidently off the wrong version is worse than measuring the right one slowly.

Measuring element by element, to NRM2

Every part of the job gets measured on its own terms rather than folded into a round figure because it was awkward to count. That's what stops small items disappearing into an estimate and eating the margin later.

Checking it before it goes anywhere

A takeoff gets checked against the drawing schedule and cross-referenced between related trades before it's handed over, so the item that would have been missed the first time round gets caught before pricing, not after.

Send your drawings and we'll take off the job properly before anyone prices a rate against it. See a sample estimate to see what the finished detail looks like.
