Frequently asked questions
We now have an FAQ list that we hope will help you answer some of the more common ones.
1. What is included in takeoff spreadsheets?
A typical takeoff includes quantities of material required for construction like CMU blocks, concrete, joists, rafter, columns, MEP, paint, Finishes, etc. All the items are listed in an excel spreadsheet with units of measure and quantity provided for each line item. A wastage factor of 15-20% can also be applied to account for material waste during construction.
2. How to get started with obtaining an estimate?
Share your project drawings with us through email. Mention the project location, scope, and due date in the email. We will send you a proposal for the takeoff/estimate.
3. What payment methods do you accept?
You can pay through a bank account, Western Union, Payoneer, etc. Just one click fast methods.
4. What will be your final output?
We will provide takeoffs/estimates in excel format w/ working colored/Markup drawings. You can check the takeoff quality from colored working drawings. We also fill bid forms if available.
5. Do you do pricing also?
We also do pricing of construction projects. But we recommend most of the contractors to do it by themselves, if possible. Because each company/state has its own laws, inflation rates, etc. We interlink estimates with bid forms so that when the contractor does pricing, bid forms automatically update.
6. Do you provide samples?
Yes, we can provide you with free samples of our previous estimates before getting started. We can also do a sample project at a discounted price if necessary.
