โ 10,000+ Flooring Takeoffs Completed
โ 6,500+ Hours on Upwork
โ 5+ Years in Commercial & Residential Flooring Estimating
โ RFMS | MeasureSquare 8 | Bluebeam Revu | Callidus | Stack
โ Responsive โ Even on Tight Deadlines and Weekends
More Than Just Square Footage
I donโt simply measure square footageโI understand how commercial flooring projects are priced, specified, estimated, bid, and installed.
My experience allows me to identify potential issues before they become costly problems, including scope gaps, material requirements, waste factors, installation methods, transitions, specifications, and discrepancies in project documents.
Hereโs what I specialize in:
โ Drawing Review:
I review floor plans, finish plans, finish schedule, elevations, details, transitions, wall tile, special conditions, and other drawing information before and during the takeoff.
โ Specifications Review:
I don't rely on the drawing plans alone. I check specifications, material requirements, attic stock installation requirements, manufacturer information, and special conditions to understand the complete flooring scope.
โ Addendum & Revision Takeoffs:
Project information changes. I review addenda, revised drawings, specification changes, and RFIs so your estimate reflects the latest available information, not an outdated bid set.
โ RFI & Scope Gap Identification:
If drawings conflict, a finish is unclear, a material is missing, or the scope doesn't line up between plans and specifications, I flag it instead of making a blind assumption.
โ Commercial & Residential Flooring Takeoffs:
Carpet, LVP, VCT, Sheet Vinyl, Rubber, Wood, Tile, Stone, Concrete, Epoxy, and other flooring systems.
I provide detailed room-by-room and overall quantities organized for pricing.
โ Flooring Accessories & Related Materials:
Wall base, transitions, thresholds, reducers, corner guards, stair treads and risers, waterproofing, crack isolation membrane, underlayment, adhesives, and other flooring-related items.
โ Waste & Material Calculations:
I calculate waste based on the project requirements, verify material quantities, review seam planning where applicable, and separate alternates when required.
โ Final Quantity Verification:
Before delivery, I cross-check quantities, notes, materials, and scope to catch issues that can affect your bid.
Deliverables:
โข Excel Reports with quantities
โข Color-Coded Drawings & 3D Views
โข Material Verification Links in MS Word
โข Takeoff Source Files in applicable software
Turnaround:
โข 24โ48 hour typical turnaround
๐ฌ Client Feedback:
