Can you do electrical quantity takeoffs?

Absolutely. Our electrical takeoffs cover conduit by type and size, wire lengths, panel schedules, fixture counts, switchgear, low voltage systems, EV charging, and all associated hardware — for commercial, industrial, and residential projects.

Do you provide concrete estimating and takeoffs?

Yes. We quantify foundations, slabs-on-grade, elevated slabs, walls, columns, beams, rebar by size and weight, formwork areas, and all concrete accessories — with pour schedules and material lists.

Can you do framing takeoffs for wood and metal stud?

Yes. We cover wood framing (studs, plates, headers, sheathing, blocking) and metal stud framing (track, stud, bridging, clips) — for residential and commercial projects of any size.

Do you offer plumbing and HVAC takeoffs?

Yes. Plumbing takeoffs include pipe lengths by size and material, fixture counts, rough-in, water heaters, and accessories. HVAC takeoffs cover ductwork areas by type and gauge, equipment, diffusers, controls, and all mechanical accessories.

What file formats do you accept?

We accept PDF, CAD (DWG/DXF), Revit (RVT), SketchUp, and most other common formats. We can also work from printed drawings if needed — just let us know.

Do you provide takeoffs for just one trade or the full project?

Both. We can provide a single-trade takeoff (e.g., drywall only, electrical only) or a complete multi-trade takeoff covering all CSI divisions. Just tell us what you need.

What is your turnaround time for a rush takeoff?

Rush delivery (24 hours or less) is available for an additional fee. Contact us with your deadline and we will confirm availability before you submit.
