About this Gig
Are you looking for an accurate masonry and concrete material takeoff to protect your project margins?
Welcome to your specialized solution. Concrete and masonry leave no room for errorunderestimating means running out of material mid-pour, while overestimating burns your profits. I provide professional, laser-accurate concrete cost estimation and masonry takeoff services for residential and commercial construction projects.
I look closely at your structural and architectural drawings to count every block, calculate every cubic yard of concrete, and trace every line of reinforcement.
What I Cover in This Gig:
- Concrete Foundations: Footings, continuous footings, grade beams, and caissons.
- Flatwork & Slabs: Slabs-on-grade, elevated slabs, driveways, sidewalks, and patios.
- Masonry & CMU Walls: Brick count, concrete block (CMU) counts, mortar, and grout volumes.
- Reinforcement (Rebar): Linear foot calculations, mesh wire, and rebar weight estimation (tons/lbs).
- Formwork & Accessories: Formwork area calculation, vapor barriers, and expansion joints.
Please send over your structural and architectural blueprints before placing an order so we can discuss your specific project needs!

FAQ
Do you calculate rebar and reinforcement?
• Yes! I estimate rebar linear footage, rebar weight (in tons or pounds), dowels, and welded wire mesh based on your structural notes and details.
Do you include wastage factors in the material takeoff?
• By default, I provide net quantities. However, I can apply standard industry wastage percentages (e.g., 5% to 10% for concrete/masonry) upon your request to ensure you order enough material.
Can you work with both imperial and metric systems?
1. Absolutely. I can deliver the final BOQ in cubic yards/square feet/tons (US System) or cubic meters/square meters/kilograms (Metric System) depending on your location.
