Construction Takeoff Services for US Contractors and Subcontractors
Get accurate quantity and material takeoffs for every trade, delivered in a clear, organized format. Save hours of measuring and price your bids with confidence, knowing nothing has been missed.
What Is a Construction Takeoff?
A construction takeoff is a detailed list of the materials, quantities and work items needed to build a project, measured from the drawings and specifications. The takeoff is the foundation of an estimate. The estimator counts items, measures lengths, areas and volumes, and organizes them by trade. The contractor then applies prices to those quantities to calculate cost.
Construct Solutions Hub provides construction takeoff services from New York, NY, to general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and developers across the United States. You can use our takeoffs to price bids yourself, or ask us to complete the full estimate.

What Your Takeoff Includes
- Organized quantities: grouped by trade and CSI division
- Clear units: consistent units of measure for easy pricing
- Item descriptions: material types, sizes and specifications noted from the drawings
- Waste factors: shown separately so you can adjust them
- Marked-up plans: PDF markups showing what was measured

Digital Takeoff and Manual Takeoff
- Digital takeoff is faster and easier to update, and it leaves a visual markup of everything measured so you can review our work. Manual takeoff is still used for small projects and for verifying key quantities. We apply waste and overage factors for materials where appropriate, and we show them separately so you can adjust them to your standards.
