A BIT ABOUT WHAT WE DO
2. THE COMPETITIVE EDGE
The method of delivery of documentation from Builders to Contractors has dramatically changed in recent years due to the rapid demand of communicating via electronic media. The flip-side is that this now demands more valuable time as well as knowledge of various computer software programmes to access and interpret the documentation before even commencing the measure.
In the current competitive building climate, being successful in winning tenders is now more infrequent than in past times, so it is imperative to quote more consistently. This is not always achievable and “managing your time” is critical to the successful running of your business. As a contractor you can gain a competitive advantage by using our quantities take-off service and this can greatly enhance the efficiency of your business.
Our service can help by saving you valuable time in the quantities take-off process. As a result, you can increase the number of tenders you submit. Essentially, can you afford not to be tendering for more projects?

1. THE TAKE-OFF
The “take-off” is the process of obtaining quantity measurements from plans and specifications.
The process involves measuring items and then performing calculations to arrive at the required quantities and is the key component of a properly created cost estimate.
The estimated costs cannot be created without first knowing the quantities. Often, the quantity take-off is the most time-consuming activity in creating the estimate and the activity that is most subject to error.
