Quantities & Estimating for Home Builders & Trades
Measure & Take Offs
We start by reviewing your plans using digital takeoff technology, accurately measuring and counting all the items related to your project or specific trade. We prepare a detailed takeoff summary and accompanied with highlighted plans for total clarity to all parties. You can have us do all your takeoffs or assist your estimating team to handle your overflows.
Estimating
Using our digital takeoff, we then start creating a budget using our estimating software. We can apply standard rates or a detailed, ‘first principles’ approach, applying loacl rates to Labour, Materials and Plant. If you don’t have rates, we can work with you to get these together.On completion we can provide you with a spreadsheet that can be used to track progress.
