No time to measure it all? We do the takeoff.
Tender due and no time to measure every trade off the drawings? Send us the drawings and we take off the lot to NRM2, real quantities you can price straight from. Fixed fee quote back, full takeoff to your deadline.
Every trade measured off your drawings
A quantity takeoff is the measure of every material and component off your drawings, so you know the true scope before you price. It's the basis of every construction estimate, cost plan and bill of quantities, with nothing missed. We give you accurate, trade-by-trade quantities for tendering and ordering, so you don't overprice and lose the job, or underprice and lose money on it.
Measured quantities you can price straight from
We measure every trade off your drawings, from structure and finishes to mechanical, electrical and external works, to NRM2 on real current UK rates. Nothing left out, so you price the whole job.
