Quantity takeoffs · measured scope
Measure the scope properly, and the price follows.
Detailed quantity takeoffs for architects, engineers, contractors, and owners — the measured basis underneath an accurate price. Structured to CSI MasterFormat so nothing falls between two divisions and gets priced by nobody.
Why the takeoff is where estimates are won or lost
Automated tools measure what is drawn. They are good at it. What they do not do is notice that a scope is absent from the set, that a detail will not build the way it is drawn, or that a quantity is right but the assembly behind it is wrong.
A takeoff checked by hand, by someone who has watched these buildings actually go up, catches the gap before it becomes a change order.
Standard
CSI MasterFormat, Divisions 00–33
Every takeoff is organised division by division, the same structure the design teams and public agencies that hand-pick their estimators already work in. That is what makes the quantities comparable — against a bid, against a budget, against another estimate.
Frequently asked questions
What is a quantity takeoff?
A detailed measurement of the construction scope shown in a drawing set — quantities of concrete, steel, framing, finishes, mechanical and electrical scope, and everything else, division by division. It is the measured basis every reliable price is built on.
Who needs takeoff support?
Architects and engineers checking a design against budget, contractors who need capacity during a bid, and owners who want the measured scope confirmed independently of whoever is pricing the work.
How are takeoffs delivered?
Structured to CSI MasterFormat, Divisions 00–33, so the quantities line up against any estimate, bid, or budget prepared to the same standard.
Can TCMG price the takeoff as well as measure it?
Yes. A takeoff can be delivered as measured quantities on their own, or carried through to a full priced estimate — whichever the team needs.
