Material Take-Offs
Quantity surveys per CSI division — concrete, steel, MEP, finishes, earthwork. Spreadsheet exports ready for bidding.
98%-accurate material take-offs, cost estimates, and bid proposals — delivered in 24-48 hours. Built for GCs, MEP subs, and developers who refuse to lose a bid because their estimator was slow or sloppy.
A bid lost to a 6% take-off error on a $2M job is $120K of margin walking out the door. Multiply that across a year. This is the cost of slow, sloppy estimating — and the exact problem we exist to solve.
From first plan review to final bid submission — ATC Estimating handles every line of your construction estimating workflow.

200+ contractors trust ATC Estimating with their take-offs. Here's what they have to say.
"ATC turned around our 60-page hospital expansion in 5 days when our in-house team needed 3 weeks. Numbers came in 1.4% off the awarded bid. We won a $4.2M contract we would have missed."
"We've used ATC for 47 MEP take-offs across 12 states in the last 18 months. Their electrical division understands counts, conduit runs, panel schedules. Our hit rate on bids is up 31% since switching to them."
"Saved my company on a tight 72-hour bid window. Concrete and steel quantities back in 48 hours. Submitted on time, won a $1.8M job. Half the competitors no-bid because their estimators couldn't move fast enough."
What contractors most often ask before sending us their first set of plans.
