Construction Takeoff Services FAQs

Common technical and commercial questions regarding our construction takeoff services process.

What file formats do you accept for takeoff services?expand_more
We accept PDF blueprints (preferred for fastest turnaround), AutoCAD DWG files, Revit models (.rvt), and high-resolution scanned images. PDF plan sets at 1:1 scale produce the most accurate digital measurements.
How do you handle multi-sheet plan sets with hundreds of drawing pages?expand_more
Our team indexes and organizes all sheets by discipline (Architectural, Structural, Civil) before beginning measurements. Each sheet is independently measured and cross-referenced to avoid duplicate or missed quantities across overlapping plan views.
Can I request a takeoff for only specific trades within a larger plan set?expand_more
Yes. You can specify exactly which trades you need measured. For example, you can request only concrete and rebar quantities from a full commercial plan set, or only drywall and framing from a tenant improvement project.
