Utilities Estimating
Site utility quantities from the civil drawings — water, sewer, and storm systems priced by linear foot and structure count.
What We Take Off
- Water distribution piping
- Sanitary sewer systems
- Storm drainage
- Site electrical and gas distribution
- Manholes and utility structures
- Utility connection fees allowances
Works from whatever plans you have
Traditional 2D CAD drawings and PDF plan sets, or 3D BIM models — utilities 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 utilities estimates commonly go wrong
Utility connection and tap fees vary significantly by jurisdiction and aren't always shown on the civil drawings — these need to be confirmed with the local authority, not assumed.
