Sample drywall takeoff
A real takeoff we did from a public plan set: Highline College Building 23 tenant improvement, Level 3 (sheet A3.01, design development set, 1/8" = 1'-0"). Blue = new A1 partitions, green = F4 exterior furring.
- A1 partitions: 522 LF, 5/8" Type X both sides, 13'-1" to deck (assumed) = 13,650 SF board
- F4 exterior furring: 144 LF = 1,886 SF board (total 15,536 SF)
- About 357 sheets of 4x12 incl. 10% waste, 699 studs, 1,332 LF track
- Openings not deducted (noted on the sheet)

Sample. Not an accuracy claim. Check any takeoff against your bid set before pricing.
What a construction takeoff service does
A takeoff is the count of every material on a plan: wall lengths, board area, roof squares, ridge and valley lengths. Estimating turns those quantities into a price. We do the takeoff part so your estimator spends the evening pricing and sending bids, not scaling drawings.
Trades we take
Drywall (walls by type, board square feet, ceilings, corner bead, waste) and roofing (squares by pitch, ridge, hip, valley, eave, rake, flashing lengths). Other trades too: tell us the trade in the form and we take it on.

What do I get back?
An Excel quantity sheet and a marked-up plan PDF, so you can see what was counted where.
How do I check the takeoff?
Every quantity on the sheet points to a marked-up area on the plan. Spot-check any room or roof plane against the drawing before you price it.

$100 a plan, or $399 a month for up to 10 plans. No contract.
Do you price the job for me?

Is my plan kept private?
Your plans are used only for your takeoff and are never shared. Ask and we delete them.
