Millwork take-offs and estimating Bid more work without burning drawing hours.

Every bid you don't submit is revenue that went to the shop down the road. Most shops don't skip bids because the work is wrong - they skip them because the estimator is also the engineer, and drawing hours always win. This service exists so the bids go out.

Why take-off first is the right sequence

A take-off done before detailing pays twice. At bid time it wins you the job with numbers you trust. At production time it's the skeleton the drawings hang on - quantities reconcile, procurement starts earlier, and the surprises that usually appear at cut-list stage appear at bid stage instead, when they're still the architect's problem to resolve.

Scope honesty

We count material and quantity. Labour pricing stays with you - your crew, your methods, your rates. If you want your labour factors applied to our quantities inside a retained account, we can build that with your data; we don't guess at it, and you shouldn't let any vendor guess at it either.

Answers

Common questions

What do you need for a take-off?
The architectural set (PDF is fine), the millwork spec sections, and your preferred grouping - by room, by elevation, or by material.
How accurate are they?
Every take-off states its basis, assumptions and exclusions on page one.
48-72 hours - really?
For the free first take-off on a standard bid package, yes - that's the offer's committed window. Larger or unusual packages get a committed date in the quote, like everything else we do.
