What gets counted
- Fixtures and equipment from the schedules
- Pipe by system (domestic cold, hot, recirculation, sanitary, vent, storm, gas, condensate), size and material
- Fittings, valves, cleanouts, hangers and specialties
- Interceptors, water heaters, pumps and backflow assemblies
How it's organized
By system, then by floor or area, with material and size subtotals. That structure lets you apply your own unit pricing or compare directly against sub proposals.
What we need
Plumbing and architectural PDFs, specs, addenda and the bid due date. Incomplete drawings are common, so every takeoff includes a list of conflicts and missing information.
Turning quantities into a decision
Pair a takeoff with bid leveling to see exactly what each sub carries. Not ready to bid? Check project readiness first.
