Accurate material quantities measured from your drawings for builders, contractors and estimators, so you can price faster and tender with confidence.
Measured from your drawings
Our material quantity takeoff service helps builders, contractors and estimators measure quantities accurately from drawings, reduce pricing gaps and prepare stronger tender submissions.
Missing quantities create price gaps, manual take-offs slow tender deadlines, inconsistent BOQs make supplier quotes hard to compare, and overlooked materials reduce your margin. A professional take-off deals with all four.
A material take-off lists every material needed to build the job, measured from your drawings and grouped so you can price and order it.
Footings, slabs, piers and columns (m³), mesh and bar.
Bricks and blocks by wall type, lintels, ties and mortar.
Timber or steel members, roof cover, sarking, gutters and flashings.
Plasterboard, render, tiling, waterproofing and paint areas.
Counted from the drawings and schedules.
Earthworks volumes, pavements, kerbs, drainage and paving.
An efficient process gets you detailed, checked work quickly, so you stay on schedule. We confirm a timeline for your project up front.
Every quantity is marked up on the drawings, so you can see exactly what was measured and check it against revisions.

Volumes and tonnages measured as they’ll be poured and fixed.
Concrete and reo are often measured in a hurry from structural drawings that keep changing. Thickenings, set-downs and edge beams get missed, reo is guessed from a rule of thumb, and the order comes up short on pour day or the margin disappears in waste.
We measure slabs, footings, beams, walls and columns in Bluebeam the way they’ll be poured, including thickenings and set-downs. Reinforcement is taken off by bar size and element, with mesh, laps and bar chairs allowed for, and both are set out in schedules that suit ordering and pricing.
Quantities you can order from and price with confidence. You get pour-by-pour volumes and reo tonnages that trace back to marked-up drawings, so your team, your supplier and your client can all check the same numbers.
Contact areas by type, with propping and reuse in mind.
Formwork quantities are often lumped into one area figure, which hides the difference between a simple slab edge and a tall wall or column. Without types, heights and propping broken out, labour gets underpriced, hire periods run long and formwork becomes the package that hurts.
We measure formwork contact areas from the drawings and break them down by type: slab edges, soffits, walls, columns and beams. Heights are noted, along with where propping or back-propping is needed, so your formwork team can plan reuse, choose systems and price labour against what will really be built.
A formwork take-off you can plan and price from, not just a single number. You see where the hard work is, how much gear the job needs and where reuse is possible, which makes it easier to weigh up hire against buy and settle on a sensible price.
Members, lengths and connections counted, not estimated.
Timber and steel framing take-offs are slow and fiddly. Counting studs, plates, lintels, purlins and connections across dozens of sheets under a tender deadline leads to missed members, double-counted runs and orders that arrive short or leave a pile of offcuts.
We measure framing and structural steel member by member from the architectural and structural drawings. Members are scheduled by size, grade and length, with lintels, bracing, purlins, girts and connections listed, so suppliers and fabricators can quote from a clear, consistent list.
A schedule you can send to suppliers for quotes, and numbers you can check against the drawings. That means fewer missed members, less waste on site, and a framing or steel price that holds up when the job is built.
Every room and surface measured, ready to price.
Finishes look simple until you price them. Floor, wall and ceiling finishes change room by room, wet areas need waterproofing, and skirtings, trims and set-outs get missed. Small misses across a whole building add up, and they usually show up after the job is won.
We measure finishes room by room from the plans, elevations and finishes schedule: flooring, wall tiling, painting, ceilings, waterproofing, skirtings and trims. Each item is tagged to its finish type and location, so you can price by trade, send packages to subcontractors and check what each quote includes.
A finishes take-off that matches the finishes schedule and the way the building will be fitted out. You can price with confidence, compare subcontractor quotes like for like and avoid paying for missed scope once work is underway.
A clear process to send drawings, confirm scope and receive accurate material quantities for tender pricing.
