Concrete Estimating and Takeoff Services
Buildesk provides accurate concrete estimating and takeoff services for contractors, subcontractors, and developers. From your drawings we measure concrete volumes, rebar tonnage, formwork areas, and blockwork quantities, and deliver a clear, checkable estimate with full measurement backup you can price and submit with confidence.
What We Measure
Concrete Volumes
Foundations, rafts, columns, beams, slabs, cores, and retaining walls measured by element, with a clear breakdown by grade and pour.
Rebar Quantities
Reinforcement tonnage by bar size and element, supported by our bar bending schedule services where cut-and-bend detail is needed.
Formwork and Blockwork
Formwork contact areas, blockwork and plaster quantities, and associated finishes measured to a recognised standard.
