How Do Preliminary Takeoff Services Help?

A preliminary estimate, also known as a conceptual estimate, is used to forecast the project cost and examine the economic viability of the building project before the creation of comprehensive designs. Adding more to this, it also aids owners, builders, developers, and contractors in choosing how to allocate resources efficiently, establish a preliminary budget, and weigh various early design options at the same time.

Preliminary estimates are made early in the project, before the real design and construction and they are primarily based on historical data of previous projects that have been adapted for time, location, and size, and generated using engineering ideas.

Above all, the following are phases observed in the preliminary takeoff services;

  • A rough order magnitude estimate, or ROM, is the initial estimation made during the life of the project. It is used to assess the project’s viability, which helps in project allocation and selection. It is accurate between -50% and +50%.
  • To help clients understand the breadth of the job, contractors will generate a ballpark estimate. This will allow owners to make decisions based on their budget. The accuracy of the estimate is within 20% of the real cost and is based on preliminary drawings and specifications.
  • When the project enters the planning stage, the budget estimate is created utilizing the data and plans from previous projects. It details the expenses.
  • Each line description includes a breakdown of the expenditures for the key projects’ components, including labor and material costs. The range of its accuracy is between -10% and +25% of the real cost.

A complete itemized description of the project’s components can be found in a definitive estimate, sometimes referred to as a digital cost estimate. It is created utilizing meticulous project blueprints and has a 5% to 15% accuracy range.

Details Of The Preliminary Takeoffs And Estimates

The preliminary takeoffs and estimates frequently use data from previous projects as well as templates. We can look back at other similar projects. The price for our quotes may vary depending on different variables such as the project’s type, location, and building techniques. For instance, a school is predicted to cost so much per square foot multiplied by the project’s overall square footage. Few-story office buildings can use the same strategy. A floor cost multiplied by the number of floors can be used to estimate high-rise projects. Check the details for our preliminary cost takeoff services below;

  • Date of the estimate and anticipated date of tender
  • The specifications and short drawings
  • The anticipated difference between the estimated and actual construction costs
  • The variation will be narrower the more details are provided.

Why Choose Us?

Since these estimates are made two or more years before construction, we adjust the project cost to reflect the commencement of construction. As a result, future costs must be taken into account. A time index is used to update it, which takes into account relative inflation or deflation over time as a result of things like labor rates, material costs, interest rates, etc. The estimated project cost is assessed in light of the project’s location because labor and material costs vary across the nation.



We are ranked among the top-most preliminary takeoff companies in the USA to deliver exceptional results with quick turnaround times.
