SPECIALTY EQUIPMENT ESTIMATING EXPERTISE
Eliminate Scope Gaps With Exact Equipment Counts, Utility Schedules & Structural Lift Specs..
Bidding commercial food service facilities, multi-story passenger elevators, accessibility platform lifts, or specialty institutional equipment requires meticulous cross-referencing between architectural layouts, MEP drawings, and manufacturer equipment schedules. Missing critical utility rough-in points (water, gas, high-voltage electric), miscalculating elevator shaft dimensions and pit depths, or overlooking required overhead structural support framing can result in catastrophic bid errors and expensive jobsite delays. Archixen delivers fast, reliable, and line-by-line specialty equipment quantity takeoffs directly from your project drawings.
Our specialty equipment estimating team utilizes advanced digital tools (PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Center On-Screen Takeoff) to quantify every piece of Division 11 (Food Service, Laundry, Athletic, Parking) and Division 14 (Conveying Equipment, Elevators, Lifts, Escalators) specification. We verify unit counts, overall equipment footprints, clearance zones, hookup requirements, and structural backing requirements across all floor levels.
Delivered entirely online in organized, fully editable Excel spreadsheets with color-coded Bluebeam plan markups, our takeoffs allow equipment suppliers, installers, and general contractors to apply custom fabrication costs, freight fees, installation labor, and subcontractor pricing instantly. Submit complex specialty equipment bids with total confidence in your numbers.
