Quantity Takeoffs
Quantity takeoffs are the process of measuring all the material which is needed to go into the project. QTO is prepared by reading Construction Drawings (also called Plans or Blueprints) and enlisting all the materials in an Excel file.
Different materials are measured in different units. For example; Concrete is measured in Cubic yards (CY) Steel is measured in weight (Pounds or Tons)Some items, such as doors, and windows, are counted
We deliver final files in Excel so our clients can make necessary adjustments easily.
Cost Estimating
Cost Estimating is anticipating how much all the material, labor, and equipment will cost the contractor (our client) for any project. Overheads and profits are also calculated in an estimate.
We typically use 20% overheads and profit, but we also adjust this percentage after understanding more about our client’s business and bidding practices.
To find out costs (for example, the cost of a concrete foundation or any activity), we have developed our own database based on Past Bid Results. Secondly, there’s another very popular database called RS Means. Some people just call it Means. We have its extensive subscription, and we are experts in using that.
