Site utilities takeoff software

A site utility takeoff is pipe by system, size and depth, plus every structure on the run. The utility plans, the profiles and the structure tables each give part of the answer. The errors come from those three not agreeing, and from where each trade stops.

Site utilities: common questions

Can I use Takeoff Tool for site utility takeoffs today?
Not yet. Site utility is a founding trade. We build each trade with working estimators, so the tool learns how the trade really bids. Founding contractors use it free for three months while we build it with them.
What do you need from a founding site utility contractor?
An hour or two of your estimator's time, screen shared, while they do a real takeoff. Plus a set of past bid packets with the finished takeoffs. We use them to check the tool against work you already trust.
What does it cost after the founding period?
The standard price is $2,500 per seat per month. It is a flat fee. There is no charge per takeoff.
