Quantity Takeoff Services in Australia

What is a quantity takeoff?

A quantity takeoff, also written quantity take-off, is the process of measuring the materials and work items shown on construction drawings. The result is a list of quantities, such as areas, volumes, lengths and counts, that is used for estimating, tendering and ordering.

What we measure

  • Concrete, footings, slabs and reinforcement
  • Framing, carpentry and structural steel
  • Brickwork, masonry and cladding
  • Roofing, gutters and insulation
  • Plasterboard, tiling, flooring and painting
  • Plumbing, electrical and drainage items

What you receive

  • Itemised quantity schedules, grouped by trade
  • Clear units and descriptions for each item
  • Notes on assumptions and anything not shown on the plans

Takeoff services for builders and trades

Builders use our takeoffs to price tenders and order materials. Trades such as roofers, carpenters, bricklayers and concreters use them to quote jobs faster. We also offer trade specific services, including roofing estimating, concrete estimating and plumbing estimating.

  1. Send us your plans and scope.
  2. We confirm what is included and give a quote and timeframe.

What Our Takeoffs Help You Do

Detailed Cost Estimation

We prepare comprehensive quantity take-offs covering all major construction trades. Our reports include accurate measurements and quantities, making it easier to prepare estimates, order materials, and plan construction activities.

Every quantity take-off is carefully checked to ensure accuracy and consistency throughout the project.

Material Cost Breakdown

Our material quantity breakdown provides a clear schedule of the materials required for your project. This helps reduce ordering errors, minimise material waste, and improve purchasing efficiency.

Accurate material quantities support better cost control and smoother project delivery from start to finish.

Construction Cost Analysis

We analyse construction drawings to produce detailed quantity reports that support accurate estimating and budgeting. Our reports help contractors identify project requirements before construction begins. Our construction quantity analysis improves tender accuracy, simplifies procurement, and gives you confidence when pricing residential and commercial projects.
