Concrete Estimator: Footings, Pads &
Floor Slabs


This service is for Builders & Concreters who need their quantities to be right — undercount and you're paying for short-load deliveries mid-pour, overcount and you're writing off waste.


The drawings are worked through methodically by breaking down each element so nothing gets missed or double-counted. You get a detailed schedule with volumes, areas and linear meters that makes pricing straightforward with quantities to send straight to your ready-mix supplier.


Whether it's a single residential slab-on-grade or a multi-level commercial floor system with complex beam layouts, the process is the same - Accurate quantities. Quick turnaround. Simple.


Pricing brick veneer instead? See brickwork takeoff.

Working with concrete blockwork? See blockwork takeoff.


Email your plans through today for a fixed fee price with turnaround time.

FAQ

What do you need to complete a concrete take-off (slabs and foundations)?

The latest PDF drawings (foundation plan, floor/slab plan, details/sections), specification notes, and the current revision list. If available, send any engineer’s notes.

Do you break quantities down for different mixes or structural requirements?

Yes. Where drawings/specs show different concrete types or zones, we separate the concrete take-off by element/type so builders and subcontractors can apply the right rates.

What concrete elements are included in your slab and footing take-offs?

We measure concrete quantities for slabs, footings, beams, pads, thickened edges, steps and set-downs, plus openings/penetrations where shown—issued as a clear schedule ready for pricing.

Can you re-measure if the drawings change and show what increased or decreased?

Yes. We can complete a revised concrete take-off and provide an additions/omissions summary, making re-pricing faster and supporting cost changes/variations.
