Quantity Takeoff Services: Precise Measurements from Your Drawings
Every accurate bid starts with accurate quantities. We measure counts, lengths, areas and volumes from your plans and organize them by trade, so your pricing is built on numbers you can rely on.
What Is a Quantity Takeoff?
A quantity takeoff is the process of measuring and listing the amount of each material and work item required for a construction project, based on the drawings and specifications. The result is a quantity schedule that shows counts, lengths, areas, volumes or weights for each item, grouped by trade. Quantity takeoff is the basis of cost estimating, material ordering and bid comparison.
Construct Solutions Hub provides quantity takeoff services from New York, NY, to contractors, subcontractors, developers, owners and suppliers across the United States. We focus on precision, clear organization and checked results.

Independent Quantity Verification
We check the quantities in an existing takeoff or contractor bid against the drawings. Owners, developers and lenders use this to confirm that bids are based on the correct scope.
How We Keep Quantities Accurate
- Drawing set check: we confirm all sheets, specifications and addenda before starting
- Scale verification: we check drawing scales and dimensions before measuring
- Consistent methods: the same measurement rules and units across every trade
- Cross-checks: we compare plans, sections, details and schedules to catch conflicts
- Reasonableness checks: we test results against expected ratios, such as concrete volume against slab area
- Second review: another estimator reviews the takeoff before delivery

Quantity Takeoff: Frequently Asked Questions
What is quantity takeoff in construction?
Quantity takeoff is the process of measuring and listing the amount of each material and work item needed for a project, using the drawings and specifications. It is the basis of cost estimating and material ordering.
What is the difference between quantity takeoff and cost estimating?
Quantity takeoff measures how much is needed. Cost estimating applies prices for materials, labor, equipment and markups to those quantities to determine total cost.
What is a bill of quantities?
A bill of quantities, or BOQ, is a structured list of items, descriptions, units and quantities for a project. It is used in tendering so that all bidders price the same scope.
What units are used in quantity takeoff?
Common units include each (count), linear feet, square feet, cubic yards and pounds or tons, depending on the item being measured.
Can you verify quantities in a contractor's bid?
Yes. We offer independent quantity verification, comparing quantities in an existing takeoff or bid against the drawings and noting differences.
Can you extract quantities from a BIM model?
Yes. We extract quantities from BIM models and verify them against the drawings, since model quantities depend on how completely the model was built.
How long does a quantity takeoff take?
Turnaround depends on project size, number of trades and drawing quality. Most takeoffs are delivered within [X business days]. Rush service is available on request.
