What this service covers

Before drafting begins, every project starts with a take-off: we review your architectural set in PlanSwift, quantify material by system and area, and return an estimate file with a variance report so you can see how the numbers change as drawings are revised.

Scope typically includes

  • Material take-offs based on the architectural design
  • Estimate file with a variance report for your review
  • Support for public tender and private RFP submissions
  • BOM preparation, in metric and imperial units
  • Clear, defensible numbers you can stand behind in a bid

Scope of this service

This is drafting-based take-off and estimating support — quantifying material accurately from the drawing set — rather than a pricing or cost-consulting service. It's designed to plug directly into your own estimating and bidding process.

Common Questions

What software do you use for take-offs?

PlanSwift, for material quantification directly from architectural drawings.

Can you support both public and private tender submissions?

Yes — take-offs and estimates are prepared for public tenders and private RFPs alike, built around your submission deadline.

Do you provide pricing, or just quantities?

We provide accurate material take-offs and quantities; pricing and markup remain with your team, since that reflects your supplier relationships and business model.

How do variance reports help?

As drawings move from concept to Revision 0 and beyond, a variance report shows exactly how quantities shifted — so you know where your estimate needs revisiting.
