I will prepare construction quantity takeoff and cost estimate
Construction Cost Estimator and Quantity Takeoff Specialist
About this Gig
I provide construction quantity takeoffs, Bills of Quantities (BOQ), material lists, and cost estimates for residential, renovation, and small civil works projects.
I can review architectural, structural, and construction drawings to measure quantities by work item and organize the results in a clear, editable Excel file.
Depending on the selected package, the deliverables may include:
Material quantity takeoff
Bill of Quantities
Annotated or marked-up plans
Labor and material cost estimate
Budget breakdown by construction item
Editable Excel file
Technical notes, assumptions, and exclusions
I work mainly with houses, extensions, renovations, rural housing, concrete works, masonry, timber construction, finishes, earthworks, and small road projects.
Tools used depending on the project: Microsoft Excel, Revit, Bluebeam, AutoCAD drawings, and PDF plans.
Before ordering, please send the drawings and project scope so I can confirm the correct package, delivery time, and required information.
Cost estimates depend on prices, currency, location, and available data. If local prices are unavailable, I can use client-provided prices or clearly identified reference values.

FAQ
What information do you need to start the project?
Please provide the available drawings in PDF, DWG, Revit, or image format, the required scope or trades, measurement units, project location, and any available specifications or price information.
Can you prepare an estimate for any country?
Yes. Quantity takeoffs can be prepared for projects in any location. For cost estimates, please provide local prices or the project location. If reliable local pricing is unavailable, reference values will be clearly identified.
What is included in the annotated plans?
Annotated plans may include measured areas, lengths, counts, work-item references, color-coded markups, and notes supporting the quantity takeoff.
Do you provide editable files?
Yes. Standard and Premium packages include an organized editable Excel file. The source file can also be added to the Basic package as an extra.
What is considered a revision?
A revision includes minor corrections or adjustments based on the original drawings and agreed scope. New drawings, design changes, or additional trades require a separate quotation.
Do you provide structural design or stamped drawings?
No. This service covers quantity takeoff, cost estimating, BOQ preparation, and drawing review. Structural calculations, engineering design, and stamped documents are not included.
