A quantity takeoff (QTO) is a materials-only quantity list extracted from construction drawings, with no pricing attached. Turner Estimating produces CSI MasterFormat-organized QTOs that contractors plug directly into their own cost databases, typically delivered in 24-48 hours as an Excel workbook with one tab per division.
Bidding on modern commercial and residential construction projects is highly cost-sensitive; underestimating material counts, failing to account for layout waste, or miscalculating structural weights can instantly wipe out your profit margins. We provide industry-leading, data-driven quantity takeoff services engineered to eliminate the guesswork from your bidding pipeline. Whether you need our standard 24-hour turnaround or a lightning-fast 5-to-12-hour emergency rush option, we deliver 100% accurate material counts that give you the confidence to bid aggressively and secure more awards.
Backed by a proven 94% bid-win ratio and transparent, flat-fee pricing starting from $200, our material quantity takeoff services allow you to instantly scale your capacity while reducing your in-house estimating overhead by up to 60%. We proudly support contractors with a nationwide reach across all 50 U.S. states, explicitly highlighting heavy-volume construction markets like New York (NY), California (CA), Florida (FL), Nevada (NV), and Texas (TX).
Underestimating required components, failing to adjust for drawing scale discrepancies, or miscalculating structural weights will quietly bleed your margins dry before your crews ever mobilize. Here is how our professional QTO services construction team eliminates the preconstruction grind and protects your buyout numbers:
Working off poorly calibrated digital PDFs leads to linear and area run errors, causing massive material shortfalls or expensive over-ordering.
Missing tiny footnotes, architectural legends, or wall schedule details results in completely ignoring critical elements like fire-rated drywall or vapor barriers.
Manual math errors when converting cubic yards of concrete or calculating structural steel tonnage generate highly inaccurate bid numbers.
Receiving a chaotic, unformatted list of counts forces your team to spend hours sorting data before you can apply your unit rates.
Our estimators strictly calibrate every digital drawing sheet in PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu against known dimensions before measuring.
Every draft is reviewed by a senior project manager to ensure obscure layout callouts, schedules, and general notes are 100% accounted for.
All dimensions are run through localized, standardized formulas and cross-checked against RS Means unit-of-measure conventions.
We deliver clean, editable Excel workbooks structured exactly to the CSI MasterFormat 50-division layout with one tab per division.
Partnering with our certified team to manage your CSI quantity schedule provides a strategic advantage that impacts your entire business. When you bring us a set of plans, every job comes back with:
A color-coded marked-up PDF of your plans, an editable Excel takeoff, a list of inclusions/exclusions, and a full bid summary.
Every item, linear foot, and square foot is tagged to its specific CSI Division, with drawing sheet references so quantities trace back to their exact plan location.
Cut your estimating overhead by up to 60%, saving you 20-30+ hours per bid so you can focus on running your construction projects.
Our digital takeoff tools reduce measurement errors by up to 95%, helping you eliminate costly material waste and excess order costs.
Contractors who bid with our precise, data-driven numbers consistently report a 92% bid-win success rate.
Standard estimates land in 24 to 48 hours; when the bid date will not move, rush delivery comes back in a fast 5 to 12 hours.
