What outsourcing a takeoff is really like
A takeoff service adds a queue, a fee, and a black box between you and your number.
You wait days for numbers
Send the plans. Wait for quantities. A same-day quote turns into next week.
You pay before you win
A per-job fee comes out of your margin either way.
You can't show your working
You get a list of numbers, not the plan behind them.
Every change costs again
New drawings mean a new fee and a new wait.
Do it yourself
The same two steps, minus the middleman
Measure the plan. Price it from your rates. No outside estimator, no fee.
01TakeoffUpload the PDF. Set the scale. Measure.
Draw lengths, areas, and counts on the plan. Real metres — including multi-page sets.
02QuoteBind each quantity to your rates
Quantity from the plan × your rate library. Markup and GST sit on the quote you send.
From crews who price from plans
Takeoff in the morning. Quote out the same day.
Builders, contractors, and estimators — the people who measure the drawing and send the number.
“Upload the plans, set the scale, take it off, and the quote is ready to send the same day. We are not sitting on a spreadsheet after the drawings come in.”
“Each count on the plan is a line on the quote, priced from our own rates. Markup and GST are already on it. That is the bit that used to take all evening.”
“When rev B lands I change the measurement on the sheet. The quote line moves with it. I am not taking the whole job off again.”
