Specialized takeoffs for specialized trades.
You don't need a whole-building estimate. You need pinpoint accuracy for your specific division. We provide exact material counts and labor hours so you can bid faster and win more jobs.
Stop doing your takeoffs at night.
You shouldn't have to choose between managing your crews during the day and estimating new projects at night. Outsource your takeoffs to us and reclaim your time.
Bid on More Projects
Our standard 2-3 day turnaround means you can significantly increase your bidding volume. The math is simple: more bids submitted equals more contracts won.
Stop Guessing Waste
We apply exact, industry-standard waste factors for your specific materials, ensuring you don't over-order and bleed profit, or under-order and delay the site.

Subcontractor Takeoff FAQs

Absolutely. We provide a standardized template by default, but if you have a specific format your lumber yard, electrical house, or drywall supplier prefers, send it to us and we will match it.
If we find discrepancies or missing information in the plans, our estimators will issue a formal Request for Information (RFI) document outlining exactly what is missing so you can forward it to the GC.
Our standard "Material Takeoff" provides just the quantities. If you need localized labor rates and estimated man-hours applied to those quantities, please request our "Full Cost Estimate" service when uploading your plans.
