Our 4-Step Construction Takeoff Process
Workflow Highlight:
At Flow8 Build, we follow a proven 4-step workflow to deliver highly accurate and easy-to-use construction takeoffs. Our process ensures every material is accounted for, costs are transparent, and your project planning stays on track.
- In-Depth Plan Review
We begin by carefully analyzing your project blueprints, architectural layouts, and scope specifications. Our estimators thoroughly examine every drawing to identify and account for all construction elements – from major structural components to minor trims and accessories.
Goal: Ensure 100% material visibility before measurements begin.
- Precise Quantity Measurement
Using top-tier tools like PlanSwift and Bluebeam, our team digitally extracts quantities for all relevant materials – including concrete, metals, lumber, fixtures, MEP components, and finishes. We verify each quantity against project specs to ensure nothing is missed and every item is construction-ready.
Goal: Achieve high-accuracy measurements tailored to your scope.
- Cost & Material Categorization
Once quantities are captured, we organize them into a structured Excel sheet – broken down by material type, scope area, and application. We pair this with real-time market pricing to give you a clear and actionable cost overview.
Goal: Make budgeting, procurement, and bidding faster and easier.
- Final Report & Deliverables
You receive a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate document with complete material lists, unit pricing, dimensions, quantities, and specifications. This report is formatted for direct use in estimating, procurement, or bidding platforms – saving you time and reducing guesswork.
Goal: Provide a ready-to-use, bid-friendly takeoff package.
Two Core Types of Construction Takeoff Services
- Material Takeoff Services
Our Material Takeoff Services focus on calculating exact quantities of raw materials needed for your project – whether it’s concrete, rebar, drywall, flooring, lumber, or finishes.
We dive deep into your blueprints and specifications to account for every inch and every unit, ensuring that you’re ordering precisely what you need – no more, no less.
Ideal for: Procurement planning, supplier coordination, and minimizing material waste.
- Quantity Takeoff Services
Our Quantity Takeoff Services provide a full scope measurement of all work components – including materials, labor, and equipment – based on your construction drawings and scope of work.
This service is especially useful for cost estimating, bidding, and budgeting on complex renovation or ground-up projects.
Ideal for: Contractors and developers preparing competitive bids or planning phased construction.
Together, these services ensure you have full visibility of both what you’ll need and how much it will cost – giving you the competitive edge on accuracy, efficiency, and profitability.
