FLOORING ESTIMATING EXPERTISE
Eliminate Bidding Mistakes With Exact Surface Area & Material Quantities.
Bidding commercial interiors and residential flooring requires exceptional attention to detail. A miscalculation in square footage, failing to account for complex pattern cuts (herringbone, diagonal, staggered), or missing wall base linear footage can eat away at contractor profit margins. Archixen delivers fast, accurate, and comprehensive flooring quantity takeoffs directly from your project blueprints.
Our flooring estimating team utilizes industry-leading digital software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Center On-Screen Takeoff) to calculate exact square footages, square yardages, piece counts, and linear feet for ceramic/porcelain tile, luxury vinyl tile (LVT/LVP), hardwood, broadloom carpet, carpet tiles, underlayment, adhesive, and trim transitions. We factor in roll waste, tile pattern repeats, wall base turns, and subfloor prep requirements.
Delivered entirely online in organized, fully editable Excel spreadsheets with color-coded Bluebeam plan markups, our takeoffs allow contractors, suppliers, and distributors to apply custom labor rates and material pricing instantly. Secure more commercial and residential flooring contracts with total confidence in your numbers.
