FAQ
What do I need to send you to get started?
Send your drawings (PDF or CAD), specifications, and any addenda. If you have a scope of work, bid deadline, or specific exclusions, include those too. Complete plans lead to a more accurate takeoff and estimate.
What trades and project types do you cover?
I cover all major trades, including concrete, masonry, metals, finishes, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical. I work on commercial, industrial, and residential projects, from small renovations to large new builds.
What will I receive in the final deliverable?
You receive an organized Excel file with a bill of quantities (BOQ), itemized material takeoff, unit rates, labor, and overhead pricing, along with clearly stated assumptions and exclusions. It is ready to use for your bid or tender.
Do you work to international measurement standards?
Yes. I can format your documents to CSI MasterFormat (USA), NRM1, NRM2, NRM3 and SMM7 (UK), or POMI (Australia). Tell me your region and preferred standard when you place your order.
Can you price using my local rates or supplier quotes?
Yes. If you have your own supplier quotes, labor rates, or a preferred cost database, send them over and I will use those. Otherwise, I price using RSMeans, Spon’s/BCIS, or Rawlinsons data matched to your project’s region.
How fast can you deliver?
Turnaround depends on the size and complexity of the drawings. Small projects are typically ready in 1 to 3 days, and larger projects take longer. For tight bid deadlines, message me before ordering so I can confirm what is possible.
Do you offer revisions if the plans change?
Yes. If addenda or drawing revisions come in, I can update the takeoff and estimate. Minor corrections are included, and major scope changes can be handled with a custom offer or gig extra.
