Straight into the pipeline.
It lands on the board as a live job card. You can see exactly where it sits — and who owns it — at any time.
A named person, not a queue.
Your dedicated specialist checks the set against the drawings, confirms scope, and then splits it by line items. The same person every job.
Precision Drawing Markups
Every quantity is measured using professional digital takeoff tools, generating layered, colour-coded markups. Verify any line item on the blueprints instantly with zero guessing. Your dedicated specialist also includes a clear list of clarifications and assumptions.
Itemised Bills of Quantities (BOQ)
Your takeoff is structured into a clean, comprehensive BOQ spreadsheet. Every cell is mapped directly to our measurements with formulas and trade breakdowns.
Double-Pass QA Audits
Before delivery, a senior estimator cross-checks all measurements against project specifications, tender addenda, and scopes to ensure a completely waterproof set.
Final Submission Package
Receive a complete, client-ready package with the BOQ, markups, and a list of inclusions, exclusions, and assumptions—ready to submit or drop straight into your portal.
