PLUMBING ESTIMATING EXPERTISE
Eliminate Bidding Mistakes With Exact Fixture, Pipe & Fitting Quantities.
Bidding commercial plumbing systems, multi-family riser networks, or healthcare mechanical facilities requires precise plan reading and riser interpretation. Miscalculating linear feet of underground waste piping, missing vertical stacks through floor plates, overlooking specialized backflow preventers, or failing to cross-reference plumbing fixture schedule tags can severely impact bid accuracy and eat away at project profits. Archixen delivers fast, reliable, and line-by-line plumbing quantity takeoffs directly from your MEP plans.
Our plumbing estimating team utilizes industry-leading digital software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Center On-Screen Takeoff) to count every fixture, valve, floor drain, cleanout, and equipment unit. We trace domestic cold/hot water lines, sanitary waste and vent (DWV) piping, storm drainage, and gas supply runs across all material types (PVC, CPVC, Cast Iron, Copper, PEX, Carbon Steel) while accounting for fittings, elbows, tees, hangers, insulation, and vertical drop allowances.
Delivered entirely online in organized, fully editable Excel spreadsheets with color-coded Bluebeam plan markups, our takeoffs allow plumbing contractors, supply houses, and estimators to apply custom labor assembly rates and material pricing instantly. Submit more plumbing bids with complete confidence in your numbers.
