Takeoff Services

When a construction project starts, it is best to have all of the materials for the first phase already present on the site. Then, the workers only need to start using them to get the project going. This, however, doesn't just happen on its own. It is only possible when someone has made a definitive list of what is needed and had the materials delivered before the key date.

Getting a professional to make this list, as well as the lists for subsequent phases, helps to ensure that it is done properly. An industry professional will also make sure that all of the right terms are used so that those who deliver bring the correct things. The services that handle this are called takeoff services.

If you're working with a builder who offers full-service multi-family construction services, the takeoff services will usually be handled by that company. However, if you've chosen to be your own general contractor, it's best to hire a company to take care of this critical aspect of your project. These companies know exactly how to specify each item so that you not only get the right things but the right quantities.

If you aren't sure how many of each item you need, some takeoff services can figure that out for you, as well. Their multifamily construction services, and services for other types of projects, can look at your plans and determine exactly what is needed for the building(s) to be completed. Often, they offer services such as cost estimation as well, so you don't have to worry about these nuts-and-bolts as your project progresses. To learn more, call Outsourced Estimating.
