Slabs, Foundations & Formwork

ESTIMATION SERVICES FOR CONCRETE

Concrete work is foundational—both literally and financially—and our estimates help you plan and bid it right. From slabs and foundations to vertical walls and curbs, we calculate volumes and reinforcement needs with precision, referencing both architectural and structural drawings. Our estimates are organized by pour area and concrete type, making your scope easy to understand and execute.

We include comprehensive breakdowns for concrete volume, rebar weight, formwork surface area, placement labor, equipment, and accessories such as vapor barriers, anchor bolts, and wire mesh. Our team factors in site logistics, phasing, weather delays, and construction joints where applicable. Whether you're bidding on slab-on-grade work or elevated decks, our takeoffs match your field methods.

By aligning our estimates with your preferred mix designs and forming systems, we help eliminate RFIs, minimize revisions, and speed up approvals. Our deliverables are formatted for internal team review, client presentations, or GC bid packages—making us a reliable extension of your estimating desk.

CONCRETE FAQ'S

Concrete volume by pour area and mix design, formwork surface area, rebar and mesh weights, plus placement labor, finishing, and accessories such as vapor barriers, anchor bolts, and joints.

We calculate rebar by size, length, spacing, and lap, and total the weight—plus wire mesh, post-tension cables, or special anchors where the structural drawings require them.

Yes. We measure contact/forming area for footings, walls, columns, and slabs and estimate the forming materials and labor, since complex shapes can significantly affect cost.

We break out structural work from decorative finishes (polished, stamped, stained, exposed aggregate) so each scope is priced with the correct materials and labor.

Most single-trade takeoffs are delivered within 24–48 hours. Larger or multi-phase scopes may take a little longer, and we'll confirm the exact turnaround when we review your plans.

Send drawings in PDF, DWG, or ZIP format. You'll receive an itemized takeoff in Excel and PDF, along with marked-up drawings so you can verify every measured area.

Both. You can request a quantities-only takeoff or a fully priced estimate using current market unit rates—or we can apply your own pricing database and templates.
