A quantity takeoff specialist measures everything that needs to be priced on a construction project. Working from the drawings and specifications, they calculate areas, volumes, lengths and counts for each trade, mark up the sheets so every number can be checked, and organise the results into quantity reports your estimator prices from. On busy bid schedules they are what lets one estimator respond to far more invitations.
General construction takeoff specialists for GCs; trade-specific takeoff specialists for concrete, sitework, drywall, flooring, roofing, MEP and electrical; and senior takeoff leads who manage quantities across multiple concurrent bids.
