Concrete Estimating and Takeoff
The foundation of a building is laid with bricks, sand, and cement, but to ensure stability, strength, and structure, concrete reinforced with rebar is essential. At Aussie Estimators, we provide a seal of trust through our concrete takeoff and estimation services for all types of construction projects—from towering skyscrapers to small multi-family apartments and public buildings.
Precision in Concrete Estimation
Aussie Estimators is dedicated to delivering accurate concrete estimating services for a wide range of construction projects and civil works. A precise assessment of concrete takeoffs is crucial for submitting proposals for new projects or tenders.
The concrete takeoff process can be challenging for large-scale constructions, especially when dealing with diverse pavement sizes and densities. Some projects may require substantial amounts of cast-in-place concrete for foundations, while others need accurate estimates for structural walls, beams, and columns.
With our expert estimation services, we ensure your construction projects remain financially sound, preventing cost overruns, material shortages, or wastage throughout the project’s lifecycle.

Why Do Concrete Takeoffs Call for the Right Punch of Estimates?
Whether you’re putting together a quick quotation or submitting a formal bid, you need to nail your takeoff when estimating your next concrete project. If your material takeoff calculations and measurements are inaccurate, you will either overestimate or underestimate the project. Incomplete or incorrect concrete amounts will directly impact your labor cost estimates and, ultimately, your overall concrete cost estimations.
At Aussie Estimators, we provide precise rebar and concrete estimating services for all construction projects, ranging from small residential jobs to extensive commercial developments. Get your concrete takeoffs estimated now and stay worry-free later!
What’s Included in Concrete Takeoff Estimation?
A complete concrete estimation job includes more than just concrete measurements. It also accounts for:
- Formwork
- Rebar
- Reinforced welded wire mesh
- Prestressed cables
- Anchor bolts
- Vapor barriers
Additionally, all necessary types of concrete are included in the estimate along with their compressive strength (measured in pounds per square inch) and the required quantity (typically computed in cubic yards).
Concrete Estimation Services We Offer
At Aussie Estimators, we provide comprehensive spreadsheets for concrete estimating, detailing the cubic yards of concrete required for various building projects. If you need a deeper breakdown, we also offer precise calculations for reinforcement, cement, sand, aggregate, and more.
Along with these estimates, we deliver an Excel file listing all construction operations and material quantities, offering an overall construction cost estimate.
Our concrete estimating services include:
- Slabs, tie beams, and concrete footers
- Total cost estimation for driveway construction
- Residential and commercial building project estimates
- Cost estimates for all construction supplies, such as:
- Visqueen
- Wire mesh
- Stirrups
- Dowels
- Anchors
- Structural rebar
Increase Your Profit Estimation & Save on Additional Expenses
We have been delivering high-quality concrete estimating services to concrete contractors and real estate developers. Many contractors find it challenging to generate accurate estimates for bidding proposals. That’s why we use advanced software such as Bluebeam, Planswift, and Accubid to break down every length and width for each concrete block, ensuring precise takeoffs tailored to client requirements—along with labor cost considerations.
At Aussie Estimators, our professional concrete estimators are certified by:
- The American Society of Professional Engineers
- The Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors
- The American Association of Cost Engineers
We take into account critical factors like excavation, leveling, soil compaction, transportation, and equipment to deliver accurate and reliable concrete estimating services.

How We Create the Roadmap to Quality Estimating Takeoffs
At Aussie Estimators, our experts provide top-tier concrete estimating services, enhancing our reputation with unparalleled accuracy and reliability. With extensive experience in the field, we stand out among competitors, never compromising on quality. Our team follows proven strategies to deliver precise and efficient concrete estimating solutions tailored to your needs.
i. Always Review the Plans and Specifications
A reliable construction cost estimate starts with a thorough understanding of the plans and specifications. Our estimators meticulously review all project documents before proceeding with material measurements and takeoffs.
- Always verify measurements from the appropriate source. If unsure, consult the architect to avoid inaccuracies.
- Be cautious of electronic documents where resizing may alter the scale, leading to incorrect estimations.
- Identify discrepancies between drawings and specifications, missing details, or anything unusual. If needed, clarify with the architect or engineer.
For example, project documents may mistakenly specify a 1,000 psi concrete foundation when it should be 2,000 psi. Addressing such inconsistencies ensures an accurate estimate.
ii. Understand the Scope of the Concrete Project
When a client provides project details, general and subcontractors engage in the bidding process. Understanding the project scope helps subcontractors prepare competitive bids.
- Confirm whether site preparation falls under your scope. If it does, but you lack the capability, consider hiring a subcontractor.
- Ensure clarity on responsibilities to prevent unexpected costs or delays.
iii. Check the Scale of Each Plan Sheet
Different details in a project plan may have varying scales. While digital estimating software manages this automatically, manual calculations require careful attention to ensure accuracy.
iv. Complete Your Measurements
Our expert team immediately starts gathering measurements:
- For manual takeoffs, they use printed plans, scale rulers, colored pencils, and highlighters.
- They measure the size, linear feet, and additional necessary components.
- Advanced digital takeoff software simplifies the process, reducing errors and saving time.
With expertise in digital tools, our estimators quickly determine the required materials by adjusting height and thickness parameters, ensuring precise calculations.
v. Find Your Materials
Manually calculating concrete quantities can be complex. At Aussie Estimators, we rely on digital estimating software to enhance accuracy and minimize human error.
- The software helps determine total material costs by factoring in unit pricing.
- While prices may fluctuate, our estimates remain as accurate as possible within industry standards.
vi. Double-Check for Quality Assurance
Accuracy is paramount. Our team performs a thorough review to ensure:
- All measurements are correct.
- Material quantities and costs align with project requirements.
Though this extra step takes time, it significantly improves bid quality and prevents costly mistakes.
vii. Finalize Your Concrete Takeoff Estimation
At Aussie Estimators, we deliver finalized, accurate concrete takeoffs within 24 to 48 hours, ensuring estimates are neither overinflated nor underestimated.
By combining expertise with advanced estimating tools, we provide the most reliable concrete estimating services, giving our clients the confidence to proceed with their construction projects seamlessly.
