Every division, one package.
Unlike a single-trade package, this was a general contractor's full building takeoff. Each division was quantified separately so the GC could distribute scopes to their subcontractors without re-cutting the numbers.
- Architectural
- Structural
- Mechanical
- Electrical
- Plumbing
This scope sits outside our ten standardised trade packages — those cover Divisions 03, 07, 08 and 09. Full multi-division building takeoffs are quoted per project.
What was measured.
A two-storey technology education center, taken off in full and returned in the file formats the client's team already worked in.
- Bluebeam Revu
- Microsoft Excel
The client's existing process. No new software for their team to learn.
Five days for the whole building.
P2C completed the total takeoff in five days, at a cost to the client of less than half what the same package would have cost run through their in-house estimators.
Those estimators were freed up to handle the more complex, higher-level estimating work that actually needed their judgement — rather than spending a week measuring.
Efficiency
A full five-division takeoff on a 66,000 SF building, completed in five days from receipt of drawings.
Cost-Effectiveness
Under half the cost of resourcing the same multi-division package through the client's own team.
Capacity Released
In-house estimators redirected to complex, higher-level work instead of routine measurement.
