We turnaround most residential takeoffs within 24-48 hours from the time we receive a complete set of plans. Therefore the next time you build that particular model home, you will have an exact material cost. The takeoff will now serve as your base material takeoff. We will revise the material list and send it to you. Once your subcontractor has finished, any variances will be recorded by us. The project estimator will verify the correct items and quantities were delivered.
After we provide you with a takeoff, we can visit your job site and conduct a material audit. We offer track builders building in the Tampa Bay market field audits. We can list the items by location as well, which is a built-in audit trail. We can utilize your estimating spreadsheets by inputting the quantities into the correct item codes and cost codes. We organize the takeoff in a number of estimating formats such a CSI, by cost code or construction phase. The takeoff we send you is in Microsoft Excel and will have the item, the quantity, the unit of measure and the location. CPC (Cartesian Products Compressed Internet Document) JPG, JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group image) The software we use reads the following image files: Along with the takeoff, you will receive a color coded plan which illustrates the areas that were quantified. So if you have an estimator doing his takeoffs with a scale and a legal pad you are wasting time and money. We spend less time doing a takeoff than those builders and contractors that are not computer automated. We use a digitizer for those contractors that only have hard copy plans.
One of the programs we use allows us to import digital plans and then do the takeoff on-screen. We have automated the takeoff process using takeoff software and digitizers. We will provide you the solid block count for your block masons, the lineal footages and square footages of concrete to pour by your masons, the total boards to hang by your drywall hanger, and the square feet of tile to lay by your tile mason. We can calculate labor quantities for most construction trades. You do not want the subcontractors billing for more than what they installed. The ability to control your labor costs is just as important as controlling your material costs.
