Construction takeoff services refer to the process of quantifying every material required to complete a construction project. From lumber and concrete to nails and rebar, we list it all.Think of it like this: If your blueprint is the recipe, the takeoff is the shopping list. And just like a chef can’t cook without knowing the ingredients, contractors can’t build without knowing what and how much to order.
