Construction Takeoffs & Estimating — Takeoffs Back in 24–48 Hours

For Contractors · Site / Civil · Excavation · General

You win bids on accurate numbers — not guesses. Send us a complete, correct plan set and we return precise quantities — most takeoffs back within 24–48 hours. From there we build a complete, bid-ready estimate on your own labor, equipment, and material rates; estimate turnaround varies with project size and complexity. No in-house estimator required.

What you get

  • Earthwork & Site Takeoffs — precise cut/fill volumes, material quantities, and color-coded cut/fill maps (Earthworks).
  • Quantity Takeoffs, all trades — utilities, paving, concrete, aggregate, and linear-foot / each counts pulled straight from the plans.
  • Full Bid Estimates — complete, submission-ready bid packages in B2W priced on your rates (or solid industry rates if you're not there yet).
  • Bid-Day Support — clear assumptions & exclusions, profit & overhead, and a clean number you can drop into your proposal.
  • The Pre-Dirt 5 Check — every takeoff runs through our five-point bid-accuracy check: cut/fill balance, utilities, stripping, subgrade, and scope gaps.

Who it's for

  • Site & civil contractors bidding earthwork, utilities, and sitework.
  • Excavation contractors who need fast, accurate dirt numbers.
  • General contractors who want a reliable takeoff without carrying a full-time estimator.

AI-Assisted Estimating & Takeoffs — Verified by People

We use AI the way the trade went from a transit to GPS: it makes us faster, it doesn’t make the call. Our AI-assisted estimating works through your job question by question, configured to your rules, your rates and your methods — then the numbers are cross-checked in the same industry-standard estimating and earthwork software contractors already trust.

  • Not upload-and-leave. We talk through your job with you and ask the questions before anything is final.
  • Your rules, your rates. The AI is set up to your crews, your equipment and your cost data — not a national average.
  • Checked in the software you know. Quantities and pricing are verified in B2W Estimate and earthwork modeling software before you see them.
  • Review status on every deliverable. Each package states whether an experienced estimator has reviewed it, or whether you asked for a rough number fast. We never blur the two.

Built on years of real project data and a chief estimator’s 26-year field method, applied by AI and verified on every job.
