Concrete Estimating
Formwork, reinforcement, and placement — one of the highest-value divisions to get right, since concrete errors are expensive to fix after the pour.
What We Take Off
- Footings and foundation walls
- Slabs-on-grade and elevated slabs
- Formwork (materials and labor)
- Reinforcing steel and welded wire mesh
- Concrete finishing and curing
- Precast concrete components
Works from whatever plans you have
Traditional 2D CAD drawings and PDF plan sets, or 3D BIM models — concrete quantities are taken off directly from your source files, cross-checked against the model where one exists, and delivered in the same itemized format either way.
Need the drawings themselves, not just a takeoff from them? See Drawing & Engineering Services.
Where concrete estimates commonly go wrong
Formwork is priced by contact area, not concrete volume — a common takeoff error is pricing formwork off the same number used for the pour itself, which understates labor on anything with complex geometry.
