One Missed Item on the Takeoff. One Blown Budget on Site
A material takeoff isn’t just a list of quantities. it’s the foundation everything else gets built on. Miss a wall section, undercount the concrete, forget the waste factor, and the error doesn’t stay on paper. It shows up three weeks into the job as a change order, a delay, or a fight with your supplier.
AH Estimating provides material takeoff services for contractors and builders across Florida. We measure every item from your plans — concrete, lumber, steel, drywall, roofing, MEP, finishes — using Planswift and Bluebeam Revu, so your purchasing and your bidding are both built on numbers you can trust.
WHAT WE PROVIDE
What's Included in Every Material Takeoff
Every material is itemized by trade and CSI division not bundled into vague totals. You see exactly how many studs, how many sheets of drywall, how many cubic yards of concrete, and how many linear feet of pipe your project requires.
Raw plan quantities aren't purchase quantities. We apply industry-standard waste factors by material type, so what you order matches what you'll actually use — not too little, not an expensive surplus sitting on site.
Takeoffs are delivered in Excel, or in a format compatible with your existing estimating or procurement software, so your team can plug the numbers straight into purchase orders and supplier quotes.
Need a complete multi-trade takeoff for a full bid package? Or just a fast concrete and steel count for a quick budget check? We scale the takeoff to what you actually need.
SOFTWARE WE USE
Built on Industry-Standard Takeoff Software
Precision starts with the right tools. Our residential estimating process uses:
Digital on-screen takeoff directly from PDF and CAD plans, for fast and precise quantity extraction
Markup, measurement, and verification, with full audit trails so every quantity is traceable back to the plan page
Model-based quantity extraction for BIM projects, pulling exact quantities straight from the 3D model
Used for takeoff visualization and clean, presentation-ready material schedules
No manual ruler-and-paper counting. No guesswork. Every quantity in your takeoff is digitally measured and verifiable.
WHY ACCURACY MATTERS
How a Bad Takeoff Costs More Than a Good One
A cheap or rushed takeoff feels like a savings until the framing crew runs short on lumber mid-week, or you over-order concrete and pay to haul the excess away. Florida contractors who switch to professional takeoff services consistently report fewer mid-project material delays and tighter purchasing budgets.
Our takeoffs aren’t estimates of estimates. They’re measured, verified quantities tied directly to your plan set the same standard used by Florida’s largest general contractors.
Order Right the First Time.
Stop guessing at material quantities. Get a verified, trade-by-trade takeoff delivered in 24 to 48 hours and buy exactly what your project needs.

A takeoff measures and counts material quantities from your plans. An estimate applies pricing — material cost and labor cost — to those quantities. We provide both, but you can order a takeoff alone if you only need quantities for purchasing.
Most takeoffs are delivered within 24 to 48 hours. Large or multi-trade takeoffs may take slightly longer — we always confirm the timeline before starting.
We accept PDF, DWG, and Revit files. If your plans are in another format, contact us and we'll confirm compatibility.
Yes. We apply industry-standard waste allowances by material type so your purchase quantities reflect real-world buyout — not just raw plan measurements.
