Missed Components in Manual Counts
Manual takeoffs inevitably miss things, especially small items like edge banding, specialty fasteners, and accessories that don't jump off the drawings but add up to real cost.
Material Takeoffs You Can Count On
Thorough quantity takeoffs that capture every sheet, board, hinge, and screw in your project. Our methodical approach means nothing gets missed and quantities are verified before you order.
Inconsistent Takeoff Methods
When different estimators use different methods, quantities vary widely for the same project. That makes it impossible to benchmark costs or spot trends across jobs.
Checklist-Driven Takeoffs
We use comprehensive millwork-specific checklists that cover every material category. From primary sheet goods to the smallest accessories, our systematic approach eliminates the oversights that plague manual counting.
Standardized Procedures
Our estimators follow standardized procedures that produce consistent results no matter who does the takeoff. That consistency lets you benchmark costs reliably across projects.
- Sheet goods quantity schedules
- Solid stock board footage
- Hardware piece counts
- Edge banding linear footage
- Accessory and fastener lists
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials do you include in takeoffs?
Everything millwork-related: sheet goods by species and thickness, solid stock by species and dimension, hardware by type and manufacturer, edge banding by profile and color, adhesives, fasteners, and finishing materials. We use comprehensive checklists so nothing gets overlooked.
Do you include waste factors in quantities?
Yes. We apply appropriate waste factors based on material type and cutting complexity, typically 8-15% depending on the project. Your purchase quantities will account for realistic production waste.
Can you break takeoffs down by room or phase?
We organize takeoffs however you prefer: by room, floor, building phase, or spec section. That breakdown supports phased procurement and helps you track costs by project segment.
