DEMOLITION ESTIMATING EXPERTISE
Eliminate Debris & Hauling Miscalculations With Exact Demo Surface & Volume Quantities.
Bidding interior commercial gut-outs, selective partition wall removals, multi-story floor tile tear-outs, or post-demolition site cleanup requires precise square footage calculations and structural weight analysis. Underestimating wall surface areas, failing to calculate expanding debris volume ratios (CY) for drywall and concrete block, misjudging dumpster pull frequencies, or overlooking protection barrier requirements can devastate contractor profit margins. Archixen delivers fast, reliable, and highly detailed demolition quantity takeoffs directly from your architectural plans.
Our demolition estimating team utilizes industry-leading digital software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Center On-Screen Takeoff) to quantify drywall studs, masonry partition walls, dropped ceiling grids, flooring assemblies, and MEP strip-outs. We calculate exact square footages for wall tear-outs, lineal feet of full-height vs. partial wall saw-cutting, total debris weight (tons), dumpster container loads (30/40-yard rolls), and final site cleanup labor hours.
Delivered entirely online in organized, fully editable Excel spreadsheets with color-coded Bluebeam plan markups, our takeoffs allow demolition contractors, waste haulers, and interior subbies to apply custom labor rates, tipping fees, machine hours, and disposal costs instantly. Bid and win more interior gut and site teardown contracts with total confidence in your numbers.

How do you estimate dumpster pulls and debris weight?
We convert stripped material surface areas into loose volume (cubic yards) using industry-standard material density expansion factors for drywall, concrete, wood, metal, and mixed debris to calculate exact 20/30/40-yard roll-off container counts and tonnage.
Do you calculate site protection and containment wall materials?
Yes. We quantify temporary plastic dust barriers, zip-walls, floor protection (Masonite/Ram Board), trash chutes, and sticky mats required for selective interior demolition.
