Why Our Concrete Material Takeoffs Hold Up

Concrete projects contain more material requirements than the concrete volume alone.

A complete material takeoff may need to account for different concrete strengths, reinforcing steel, formwork, vapor barriers, curing materials, construction joints, waterstops, embeds, admixtures, and other project-specific requirements.

We review structural drawings, architectural plans, specifications, schedules, details, and available concrete documents to identify the documented material requirements.

Material-by-Material Concrete Breakdown

Concrete materials can be separated by element, material type, size, specification, location, or pour where the project documents support that level of detail.

This gives contractors a usable material list for estimating, purchasing, supplier coordination, and subcontractor pricing.

Concrete Procurement Support

Material quantities can be organized to support purchasing and supplier coordination.

For ready-mix concrete, quantities can be separated by mix or concrete element where the specifications identify different requirements. Reinforcement and accessories can be listed independently for procurement and pricing.

Structural Concrete Material Takeoff

Structural concrete material takeoffs can cover footings, foundations, slabs, beams, columns, walls, elevated slabs, stairs, and other structural elements.
