The quantified quantities are then exported to EXCEL spreadsheets, which include the details and specifications of the items. Our plumbing takeoff spreadsheet contains all the measurements and quantities of the items. Our team of professional plumbing estimating contractors has a strong connection and link with the market vendors, suppliers, and distributors.

After all this, the takeoff sheet is sent to a senior plumbing estimator to look at and review the estimates carefully.

Local area labor costs, staff hour costs, material, wastage, and other overhanging costs are calculated and mentioned in our estimates.
