Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a takeoff and an estimate?
A takeoff is just the quantities (e.g., 500 sheets of drywall). An estimate includes the pricing (e.g., $15 per sheet + $20 labor = $17,500). This service provides just the quantities.
What software do you use for takeoffs?
We use industry-leading digital takeoff software including PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and specialized trade-specific tools.
Can I see what you measured?
Yes! We always provide the color-coded, marked-up PDF plans so you can visually verify everything we counted and measured.
How quickly can you turn around a takeoff?
Depending on the size and complexity of the plans, most single-trade takeoffs are completed within 2 to 4 business days.
