Every number I deliver is traceable back to the drawings, with clear assumptions documented so your team can price with confidence. ♦ WHAT I DELIVER ✔ Structural steel QTO — beams, joists, columns, connections, misc. metals ✔ Concrete & CMU takeoffs — walls, footings, slabs, masonry units ✔ Civil scope — subbase, topsoil, earthwork quantities ✔ Excel takeoff sheets organized for direct pricing and bid use ✔ Bluebeam-marked plans with full traceability ✔ CSI Division breakdown — ready for your estimating software ✔ Scope gap identification — missing items flagged before they cost you ♦ PROJECT EXPERIENCE Commercial structural steel packages (fabrication-ready QTO) Masonry scopes for retail and gas station construction Civil earthwork and subbase takeoffs for multi-building developments Multi-trade takeoffs for tenant improvement projects Electrical rough-in quantity breakdowns for commercial TI work ♦ WHO I WORK WITH General contractors preparing bids Steel fabricators and subcontractors pricing jobs Estimating firms needing overflow takeoff support Owners and developers comparing scope across multiple bids ♦ WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT I work exclusively on quantity takeoffs — no design, no engineering, no distractions. That focus means faster turnaround, cleaner output, and a deliverable your team can actually use. My Excel sheets follow a consistent structure across every project — organized by assembly, tagged by location, and formatted so anyone on your team can follow the logic without calling me to explain it. If you need reliable quantities you can price from — send me your plans.
