CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATING SERVICES
Quantity Takeoff Services in California
Accurate digital quantity takeoffs for every CSI trade division, performed using industry-standard takeoff software. Delivered in 24 Hours for projects across California.
What Is a Quantity Takeoff?
A quantity takeoff is the measurement and listing of all materials and quantities required to complete a construction project, based on the project drawings. California Construction Estimating Services performs digital takeoffs using tools like PlanSwift and Bluebeam for accurate, bid-ready results.
Accurate quantities are the foundation of every good estimate. Our takeoff team measures directly from your drawings — PDF, CAD or Revit — using PlanSwift and Bluebeam to capture linear, area, count and volume quantities for every trade on your project, organized so your team or ours can price them with confidence. Because pricing is only as good as the quantities behind it, we treat the takeoff stage as the most important quality-control checkpoint in the entire estimating process.
