What Is Quantity Takeoff?

Quantity takeoff also known as construction takeoff is the process of estimating and listing all materials and quantities required to complete a construction project. This includes everything from concrete and rebar to drywall, roofing, fixtures, finishes, and more. The process requires detailed analysis of architectural and engineering drawings and specifications. At ProEstimatrix, we use advanced digital software like Bluebeam, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff to ensure your quantity takeoff is accurate, fast, and formatted to match your project’s needs. Whether you’re preparing a bid or managing a budget, our takeoffs give you the clarity to move forward with confidence.
