Bid Takeoff Workbooks

Send your set. Get the takeoff back done.

The bid date doesn’t move, and the takeoff is what eats the window. Send the link to your documents and the file comes back with every quantity already in it — so the days you have left go on pricing instead of measuring.

Any owner, any trade, any state. Your rates, your burdens, your markups, your sub quotes. No macros, no login, no subscription.

Any solicitation, not a catalogue of ours

This used to be a list of jobs we had chosen. It is now the other way round: you send the set you are actually bidding and the workbook is built against it. Public or private, any owner, anywhere — if the documents exist, they can be measured.

DASNY · CUNY · SCA · DDC · NYCHA · Port Authority · MTA · and whoever issued yours

What’s in the takeoff, and what isn’t

Every quantity is already in the file. What is never in it is a number telling you what to bid — if you want that, it is the full estimate below.

What you open on day one

Every scope line, with its quantity, unit, drawing source and specification reference — the whole issued set, not a sample of it.
The Owner’s scope tables checked against the drawings, with every disagreement written out in plain language on its own tab.
Prevailing wage rates for the job’s county, already loaded, and every one of them yours to change.
A trade selector, so your subs see only their own lines and you see all of them.
A qualifications and RFI tab you can send to the Owner as written.

What it deliberately is not

Not an estimate. No rate, no markup, no total — not one dollar figure anywhere in the file. You know your own costs better than we do.
Not a substitute for reading the set. It gets you to your own questions faster; it does not answer them for you.
Not exclusive. Anyone on your bid list can buy the same file, and we never disclose who has.

Two ways to buy it

Same reading, same measuring, same checks. The difference is whether the number at the end is yours to build or ours to hand you.

Takeoff — you price it

Every quantity, measured and cited to the sheet and the specification section it came from.
Your rates, burdens, markups and sub quotes go in the yellow cells.
Not one dollar figure anywhere in the file. No rate, no markup, no total.
On the catalog the day it is built, ready to download.

Full estimate — priced for you

Everything above, plus the number — the complete budget, built the way a hard-dollar bid budget gets built.
Wages off the governing NYSDOL schedule for your county, every rate benchmarked against a stated market band.
Staff, general conditions and mobilisation priced as build-ups, not plugs.
Ten to fifteen business days from the day the set arrives.

What your set costs

Set by one number you can count yourself in about a minute: drawing sheets plus specification sections. Both are printed on your drawing index and your Table of Contents. Move the slider to your set and all three prices move with it.

Your price

No quote to wait for. Count your index, read your number.

How the number is set

Three tiers, no hourly billing, no change orders. The tier is fixed the moment you send the link — before any work starts. Prices shown are for the general contractor takeoff; the table below carries all three products.

Compact setUp to 75 documents$1,150

Standard set76 to 200 documents$1,950

Large set201 to 400 documents$3,000

Above 400 documents, quoted before any work starts. Bid date inside five business days? Say so — you get the specification sweep on its own rather than nothing.

All three products, every set size

Your set	Takeoff, single trade	Takeoff, general contractor	Full estimate
Up to 75 documents	$825	$1,150	$2,100
76 to 200 documents	$1,375	$1,950	$3,500
201 to 400 documents	$2,150	$3,000	$5,500

A single-trade takeoff is the same full read of the whole set — every drawing, every specification section — with your trade measured out of it. It is not a cheaper partial read, which is why it sits above the Bid Document Risk Review rather than below it.

What lands in your inbox

Three files, on both products. A spreadsheet on its own leaves you trusting numbers you cannot trace, so it never ships alone.

The workbookLive formulas throughout, one Excel file, no macros. Every line carries the drawing sheet and specification section it came from.
The basis documentA PDF in ten numbered sections: what was read, what was measured and off which sheet, what is assumed, what is excluded, and the open questions worth an RFI. On the takeoff it carries no money — it is a basis of quantities, not a basis of bid.
The transmittalOne email that says what changed, what moved and why, so you can forward it to your team without writing a summary first.

How you get it

Three steps. Nothing to install, nothing to subscribe to.

Send the link to your setA plan-room, Dropbox or Drive link is easiest — bid sets run to hundreds of megabytes. Drawings, the project manual, every addendum issued, and your bid date.
Take it or hand it overDownload the takeoff and price it yourself — from $825 for your trade, $1,150 as GC — or send the set and get the full estimate back priced.
Put your numbers inSet your wages, burdens and markups, drop in your sub quotes, exclude what you are not carrying. Live formulas throughout.

What is done before you open it

Counted on the College of Staten Island cupola, lantern and skylight job. This is the work that is off your desk on day one of the window.

Send your set. Get the takeoff back done.

Take the quantities and price them yourself, or send the set and get the whole budget back priced. Either way the window goes on pricing instead of measuring. If what you need is the list of everything the documents leave open rather than the quantities already in them, that is the Bid Document Risk Review instead.
