What You Get

A detailed Excel workbook sorted by CSI division or your own bid form, with every quantity labeled, plus highlighted and labeled plan PDFs, each scope in its own color, so every quantity traces back to the sheet it came from. You also get colored cut/fill maps, phase and area breakouts, a clear list of what was counted and what wasn't, and quantity updates when addenda come out before the bid.

Why a Field-Built Takeoff Is Different

Every takeoff is done in the United States by the estimator you're talking to. Field experience catches what's missing from the drawings: the over-ex note in the geotech, the pavement section that changed in an addendum, the utility crossing that turns one run into three mobilizations, the export haul that doubles when on-site material fails as fill. Missed items like these are where bids lose money.
