What we took off.
Eight envelope assemblies quantified against the specification, with each scope separated so the contractor could price and qualify them line by line.
- Water repellents
- Thermal insulation
- Fluid-applied air barrier
- Sheet metal flashing
- Flexible flashing
- Dampproofing
- Exterior joint sealants
- Firestopping
What came back.
Materials matched to the specified products, so the numbers could be priced against real supplier quotes rather than generic assumptions.
Three days, at less than half the in-house cost.
P2C completed the takeoff and pricing in three days, at a cost to the client of less than half what the same work would have cost using their in-house estimators.
The client's own estimating team spent only a few hours in total on the bidding effort — enough to review and qualify the numbers, not to build them.
Efficiency
Takeoff and pricing for eight envelope scopes, completed in three days from receipt of drawings.
Cost-Effectiveness
Under half the cost of resourcing the same package through the client's in-house estimating team.
Time Recovered
In-house estimators spent hours rather than days, freeing them for other live bids that week.
