Why Our Plumbing Equipment Takeoffs Hold Up

Plumbing equipment is often specified through schedules rather than shown entirely on floor plans. Equipment schedules, specifications, enlarged plans, and details may contain important information about capacities, connections, accessories, and installation requirements.
We coordinate these documents to identify equipment type, quantity, location, capacity, and associated components.

Coordination Across the Plumbing Package

Plumbing equipment connects directly to domestic water, sanitary, gas, electrical service, structural supports, and controls.
We coordinate available MEP documentation to identify connection requirements, equipment pads, drains, valves, pumps, electrical requirements, and other documented accessories.

Water Heater & Tank Takeoff

Water heaters and storage tanks can be identified from equipment schedules and plumbing plans and separated by type, capacity, quantity, and location.
Associated valves, expansion tanks, pumps, connections, and other documented accessories can be included.

Pump & Booster System Takeoff

Commercial and multifamily projects may require booster pumps, circulation pumps, sump pumps, sewage ejectors, or other pumping systems.
Equipment quantities can be coordinated with plumbing plans and schedules to identify the complete documented equipment package.

Backflow & Water Control Equipment

Backflow preventers, pressure-reducing valves, mixing valves, and other water-control equipment can be quantified by type, size, and location where documented.

Specialty Plumbing Equipment

Commercial kitchens, healthcare facilities, laboratories, hospitality projects, and industrial facilities may contain specialty plumbing equipment and treatment systems.
These components can be separated from standard plumbing fixtures and piping to provide a clearer procurement and pricing basis.
