Pro-elementary Quantity Takeoff Services for Construction Projects

Quantity Takeoffs (QTO) refer to the estimation of materials, resources, and labor needed to complete construction projects. Quantity takeoffs are material-specific and do not account for other project needs like labor, overheads, permits, insurance, equipment, or incidentals. This is where the role of an expert BIM services provider like Pinnacle Infotech comes in, where specific Quality Takeoff or Construction Takeoff requirements for a project are identified, measured, and furnished, offering end-to-end quantity takeoff services.

Domain-wide BIM-specialized Expertise in Material Takeoffs

Our construction estimating services are backed by our long-held expertise in working on diverse construction projects. For construction takeoff or material takeoff services we study the project requirements in detail and prepare construction estimates considering all the factors and criteria specific to the projects. This helps project managers and construction operators to have accurate cost estimates and minimize expenses involved in the construction process. Our team produces exact quantities of all materials through BIM and those get updated in the BIM model.

Our in-house estimation team makes sure 5D BIM Cost Estimation is produced for a certain period or specific area to assist clients in saving inventory cost and handling material procurement.

Our construction estimators review construction estimate specifications and construction plans to generate material estimates. Any change in design is immediately reflected in the fully-coordinated 3D BIM model so the Quantity Take-off list is updated in real-time.

For a detailed analysis, Quantity Take-offs can be standardized in MS Excel and exported to a database. This helps construction professionals to get accurate estimates about materials required, transportation costs, labor and material pricing, production costs, and material waste. This may also include other key details about the construction work and project resources that are important in getting construction estimates for a building project.

Steps We Follow to Conduct a Quantity Takeoff

The Initial Phase: Input Considerations

Proper material takeoffs begin with inputting accurate information into the plans.
Takeoff personnel need to input precise information into the blueprints or into the BIM-assisted takeoff software.

The Final Phase: Output Specifications

Performing material takeoffs is core to the data management output stage.
Output turns concepts into tangible projections and physical entities, and this is where accurate material estimation plays the crucial role.
