QUANTITY TAKEOFF EXPERTISE
Eliminate Material Waste Before the First Delivery Arrives.
In modern construction, miscalculating material quantities directly destroys project profit margins. Ordering too little leads to schedule-killing jobsite downtime; ordering too much ties up cash flow and generates unnecessary material waste. Archixen provides precise, auditable quantity takeoff (QTO) services that ensure every piece of rebar, linear foot of piping, and square foot of drywall is accounted for.
Our expert quantity surveyors leverage digital takeoff platforms—including Planswift, Bluebeam Revu, and AutoCAD—to perform point-to-point measurements across every architectural, structural, civil, and MEP drawing sheet. We don’t just count numbers; we factor in real-world jobsite lap splices, waste percentages, cutting allowances, and site logistics to give you a true field-ready material list.
Every quantity takeoff deliverable includes fully customizable Excel material schedules cross-referenced with color-coded markup drawings. This enables your field team, procurement managers, and sub-contractors to visually verify every measurement path in seconds.

- Field-Adjusted Waste Factors
- Multi-Format Export Support

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a material quantity takeoff (QTO)?
A quantity takeoff is the process of analyzing construction plans and drawings to identify, measure, and count all raw materials, labor items, and fixtures required to complete a construction project.
What software does Archixen use for quantity takeoffs?
We use industry-standard digital takeoff software including Planswift, Bluebeam Revu, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Revit for 3D BIM model extractions.
Do you include material waste factors in your takeoffs?
Yes. We apply industry-standard or contractor-specified waste percentages, lap allowances (e.g., for rebar and piping), and cutting loss to raw measurements.
What is your standard turnaround time for a quantity takeoff?
Standard delivery is between 24 and 48 hours for most residential and standard commercial projects. Expedited rush turnaround is available for urgent bid dates.
Can you perform takeoffs for single specialty trades?
Yes. We regularly perform trade-specific takeoffs for specialized subcontractors (such as drywall-only, concrete-only, electrical-only, or framing-only counts).
What formats are the final takeoff files delivered in?
Deliverables are provided as fully editable Microsoft Excel workbooks (.xlsx) and color-coded PDF drawing sheets.
What documents do I need to provide to get started?
We simply need your architectural, structural, or MEP drawing set in PDF or CAD format, along with any scope notes or spec sheets.
How will I verify the accuracy of your takeoff numbers?
Along with your Excel sheet, we provide color-coded PDF plans where every measured wall, area, or item is highlighted and labeled so you can double-check counts in seconds.
