04 / TAKEOFFS
Every quantity tells a story.
Detailed material and trade quantity extraction from drawings — organized, traceable, estimate-ready.
Overview
CrestCore extracts detailed quantities from architectural, structural, and MEP drawings — concrete, steel, masonry, finishes, and every trade in between — organized so estimators, contractors, and suppliers can price with confidence.
Why it matters
An estimate is only as good as the quantities underneath it. Accurate, traceable takeoffs are the difference between a competitive bid and a costly guess.

FAQ
Common questions.
What formats do takeoffs come in?
Typically structured Excel workbooks organized by trade and location, with marked-up drawings showing exactly what was measured — or your own template if you have one.
Which trades can you take off?
Concrete, rebar, structural steel, masonry, drywall, flooring, roofing, doors and windows, finishes, and MEP — individually or as a full-project takeoff.
How do you handle drawing revisions?
Quantity updates are tracked against revision clouds so you can see exactly what changed, where, and by how much.
