Quantity Takeoff
We turn your drawings into numbers you can contract on: accurate quantity takeoff from DWG or PDF for every item — concrete, steel, masonry, finishes, roads, networks — with the method and reference documented for each figure (sheet and section), compiled into an Excel BoQ ready for pricing, contracting, or reviewing contractor statements. For earthworks we compute volumes from before/after terrain models (grid or cross-section methods) with a report stating assumptions and accuracy margins.

The problem we solve
A tender priced on guessed quantities means either a guaranteed loss or a lost award, and a contractor statement you cannot verify means payment without control. Independent, documented takeoff gives you a figure you can defend in negotiation and measure actual payment against.
Who needs this service
Contractors, developers, consultancies, and cost departments that need accurate, documented quantities for contracting, pricing, statement verification, or feasibility studies.
When you need this service
- To prepare tenders or project cost studies
- To calculate cut-and-fill quantities for infrastructure projects
- To verify contractor quantities before payment

Equipment & methodology
We equip this service from our owned fleet of 90 instruments:
Survey drones
UAV photogrammetry and LiDAR for orthomosaics, topographic mapping, and asset inspection.
We own and operate our field fleet — our site shots carry the “From our field work” chip, alongside class-reference photos.

Frequently asked
Do you handle all project types?+
Yes — buildings, roads, drainage, networks, concrete works, and finishes.
Does this include pricing?+
Quantities only by default. Pricing using market rates can be added as an optional service.
How much does quantity takeoff cost?+
Pricing is scoped to the project: location and area, input quality, required deliverables, and review rounds. After reviewing the requirements we provide a written quote stating cost and schedule before work starts; there is no published fixed tariff for this service.
How accurate are cut-and-fill volumes?+
We use centimetre-accuracy terrain models from field survey or drone, compute volumes by two independent methods (grid and cross-section) for cross-verification, and state in the report the difference between methods and the expected accuracy margin — typically within ±3% on well-surveyed sites.
