Concrete Estimating Services and Takeoff
We are here to Help You Build Stable!
Concrete provides the foundation for all structures — from skyscrapers to shoeboxes. At Construct, we help build by giving you precise and dependable concrete take-offs and estimates. Whether it’s a high-rise or a duplex, our team is here to ensure you have all of the correct information on exactly how much concrete you will need, even before you start.
We are the experts in concrete estimating for all aspects of construction and civil projects. We want to help contractors submit accurate bids that win them work and avoid costly mistakes down the line. Whether you’re estimating slab work, footings, walls, and columns, or a whole whack of other concrete work, we’ve got you covered with our concrete calculator and concrete price estimator.
Let Construct count— so your build holds firm until it’s time to finish.
Why Accurate Concrete Takeoffs Matter
When bidding on a job, your concrete takeoff must be precise. A minor misstep can lead to mishandling your entire budget, resulting in either underpricing or overspending more than you intended. The costs of concrete include labor, materials, and time.
That’s why we include a detailed concrete and rebar estimate with every project we undertake—from modest residential work to large commercial constructions. We’ll help you get the correct numbers now so you’re not shocked later.
What We Calculate in Your Concrete Takeoff Estimates
Our calculations don’t apply only to concrete. We also consider everything that holds it up, such as rebar, formwork, wire mesh, vapor barriers, and anchor bolts. We provide:
Quantities in cubic yards by strength (PSI)
Reinforcements such as rebar, mesh, sand, gravel, and cement
Precisely splits walls, foundations, footings, columns, beams, and slabs
Concrete Estimating Services We Provide
The items that we are supposed to receive are straightforward and reasonable. You’ll receive:
And Excel spreadsheets with the number of stuff (cubic yards, SF)
Detailing slab work, tie beam, driveway, and more breakdowns
Residential and Commercial Projects – Full Takeoff

Increase Your Profit Estimation
Eliminate Overages with Accurate Concrete Takeoffs
At Construct ’em, we believe in helping concrete contractors and property developers take their profit to the next level by providing precise, no-guesswork estimates. The contractors — particularly those working on roadways and large foundations — often encounter difficulty in preparing accurate bids. That’s where we come in.
We utilize accurate software (e.g., Bluebeam, PlanSwift, Accubid) to measure and calculate every inch of concrete that we will use, designed according to the project’s requirements. Our takeoffs also factor in labor costs, so you have a complete picture of the estimates before the work begins.
Certified by respected bodies such as the American Society of Professional Engineers, the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors, and the American Association of Cost Engineers, our estimates cover all the details—from excavation and soil leveling through to the transport of equipment and materials.
So when you decide to start submitting smarter bids and trimming needless costs, we’ve got you covered with precision you can grow on.
Concrete Takeoff Estimation
Our Step-by-Step Approach to Reliable Takeoffs
At Construct, our team brings years of field experience to every estimate we deliver. We don’t just follow templates—we understand your project goals and make sure every estimate supports your bidding process and bottom line. Here’s how we get your concrete takeoff right every time:
i. Reviewing the Plans and Specifications
Accurate takeoffs start with a close review of the drawings and specifications. Our estimators ensure they’re working from the correct version and fully understand the plan. If there’s missing or conflicting information—such as incorrect concrete strength or missing vapor barriers—we clarify it with the architect or engineer before moving forward.
We also check for any instructions in the documents that may affect scaling—especially when working with printed digital plans that could distort dimensions. Skipping this step could lead to costly errors in your bid.
ii. Understanding the Project Scope
Before starting the estimate, we review the project details to determine what is expected. Some contractors include work such as site preparation or finishing in the bid, while others don’t. We confirm what’s in your scope so you’re not over- or underestimating your responsibilities. If needed, we also factor in subcontracted tasks.
iii. Verifying Scales on Each Plan Sheet
Plan sheets may use different scales. While digital tools can adjust for this automatically, manual estimates require close attention and oversight. Our team confirms every scale to ensure accurate measurements throughout the takeoff process.
iv. Completing All Measurements
Once everything is reviewed, our estimators begin collecting measurements. For manual takeoffs, we use printed plans, scale rulers, and markers to note square footage, linear feet, or other needed dimensions.
For digital takeoffs, tools like PlanSwift or Bluebeam let us point, click, and drag for fast and precise calculations. Adjusting slab thickness or adjusting for depth? No problem. Our experts know how to get the right volume with just a few clicks, saving you time and effort.
v. Material Quantities and Costs
Next, we calculate the materials based on the measurements. Using digital tools, we can input unit prices and obtain real-time material cost estimates. We also account for potential price fluctuations and update rates as needed so you’re not caught off guard later.
vi. Double-Check for Accuracy
Before sending out the final estimate, we run a final check. A second set of eyes reviews all figures and measurements to make sure nothing is missed. Even a small mistake can lead to significant issues, so we take this extra step seriously.
vii. Delivering the Final Takeoff
Once everything is verified, we finalize the concrete takeoff and send it your way, usually within 24 to 48 hours. No guesswork. No surprises. Just clean, precise data you can trust when you submit your bid.
Concrete Takeoff Estimation
Accurate Concrete Estimating in Simple Steps
At Construct, our concrete takeoff process is built around four key elements—materials, labor, overhead, and profit. Each one plays a crucial role in helping you prepare a reliable estimate and submit a strong, competitive bid.
1. Overhead
Overhead includes the general business costs that don’t directly relate to the job but are needed to keep your operations running. These may include:
- Office staff salaries
- Insurance
- Equipment and vehicle costs
- Rent and utilities
- Software and tools
Even if there’s no project in progress, these costs remain. We make sure they’re factored into every estimate.
