Accurate cost estimates present one of the most significant challenges for builders in the construction industry. Just one miscalculation can escalate to significant budget overruns or to disputes between contractors and clients. Many builders rely on gross numbers or clumsy estimating methods that don't account for escalating material prices or labor or project complexity increases. This is why takeoff estimating services are so helpful. They provide a figure for every single cost that is included in a project, including the concrete and steel, as well as the finishes, the time on the job, and the labor. Taking off a project helps contractors to have a better grasp on a complete plan of what resources they will need to complete the project, it helps contractors to put in a competitive bid if they rely on a professional take off estimate, and it helps keep projects on track.
