General Contractors

Win more bids without burning out your estimating team.

GCs face the most complex estimating challenge: assembling full-scope bids across every trade, on tight timelines, with multiple subs to coordinate. One missed item or inflated allowance can cost you the job — or the profit.

Common challenges

Bid windows too short to build a clean full-scope estimate in-house
Relying on sub pricing that arrives too late to verify
Assembling division-by-division numbers from scratch every bid cycle
Scope gaps that surface as expensive change orders after award

What MTO Experts delivers

Complete CSI-formatted takeoffs across all divisions in a single deliverable
Line-by-line quantities with unit costs priced to your project zip code
Organized Excel and PDF formats ready to plug into your bid proposal
Division summaries and subtotals for fast scope review with owners

Project types we cover

Commercial office & retail
Multi-family residential
Public & institutional
Industrial & warehouse
Mixed-use developments

Subcontractors

Trade-depth takeoffs for every scope you bid.

Subcontractors live and die on the accuracy of their quantities. A concrete sub who misjudges CY by 10% doesn't just lose margin — they absorb a loss. We go as deep as your trade demands: every pour, every sheet, every LF of pipe.

Common challenges

Digitizing plan sets yourself takes hours per bid set
Hard to scale estimating capacity during busy bid seasons
General contractors expect sub bids fast — no time for detailed takeoffs
Small measurement errors compound across large job quantities

What MTO Experts delivers

Single-trade takeoffs measured to the spec required by your scope
Quantity breakdowns by location, level, or phase as needed
Material lists formatted for easy quoting with your suppliers
Turnaround in 24–48 hours on most trade scopes

Project types we cover

Concrete & Foundation
Masonry & Block
Framing & Drywall
Roofing & Waterproofing
Flooring, Tile & Finishes
Painting & Coatings

MEP Contractors

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing takeoffs built for your trade.

MEP scopes demand a different level of takeoff discipline. Fixture counts, linear runs, panel schedules, duct sizing — every item carries a significant unit cost. We deliver MEP takeoffs with the system-level detail your estimators expect.

Common challenges

Plan sets for MEP are dense — misreads are common and costly
Different specs apply per floor, zone, or system — easy to miss
Coordinating across M, E, and P disciplines within one estimate
RFIs slow bids down — you need quantities that anticipate spec questions

What MTO Experts delivers

Fixture and device counts from architectural and MEP plan sheets
Linear footage of pipe, conduit, and ductwork by system and size
Equipment and unit schedules cross-referenced against specifications
Quantities organized by floor and zone for phased project pricing

Project types we cover

Healthcare & lab facilities
Commercial office buildings
Multi-family residential
Industrial process systems
Retail & hospitality

Material Suppliers & Distributors

Quote faster with accurate quantities before the material order lands.

When a contractor calls asking you to price a project, you need reliable quantities — not vague allowances or range estimates. We produce material-focused takeoffs that give your sales team the counts to quote confidently and protect your margins.

Common challenges

Contractors submit RFQs without detailed quantity lists
Quoting from rough estimates leads to shortages or over-ordering
Wasted estimating time re-counting materials the contractor already measured
Inability to build accurate quotes before the purchase order arrives

What MTO Experts delivers

Material-only quantity lists by spec, product type, and unit of measure
Counts broken down by area, floor, or section for staged deliveries
CSI-organized lists that match how distributors catalog product lines
Deliverables in Excel for easy import into quoting software

Project types we cover

Lumber & engineered wood
Concrete & aggregate
Drywall & insulation
Roofing materials
Plumbing & HVAC equipment
Electrical gear & wire

Developers & Real Estate Investors

Know your numbers before you break ground — or before you sign the contract.

Development decisions hinge on cost certainty. Whether you're running a feasibility analysis on a land acquisition or verifying a GC's hard bid, a reliable independent estimate gives you the leverage and confidence to move forward.

Common challenges

GC bids that vary widely with no way to verify which is accurate
Feasibility models built on national average costs that don't reflect the local market
Change orders eroding pro forma projections after construction starts
Lack of in-house estimating expertise to review contractor proposals

What MTO Experts delivers

Conceptual and schematic-level cost estimates for feasibility analysis
Independent bid reviews to validate or challenge GC pricing
Zip-code-priced estimates that reflect real local labor and material costs
Budget-format summaries designed for investor and lender presentations

Project types we cover

Ground-up residential development
Commercial & mixed-use
Renovation & adaptive reuse
Land acquisition feasibility
Value-add multifamily

Residential & Home Builders

Precise residential takeoffs from foundation to finish.

Custom home and residential production builders need line-by-line takeoffs to keep bids tight and protect margins on every house. We understand residential specs — from concrete footings to finish carpentry — and deliver fast.

Common challenges

Production builds repeat but plans vary — every house still needs its own takeoff
Suppliers require accurate material lists before cutting purchase orders
Allowance-based estimates blow up when actual quantities are measured in the field
Estimating staff gets overwhelmed during high-volume seasons

What MTO Experts delivers

Full residential takeoffs from site work through interior finishes
Framing material lists with lumber counts, LF, and sheathing by elevation
Concrete, masonry, and foundation quantities to the CY and SF
Finish schedules for tile, flooring, paint, and trim by room and area

Project types we cover

Custom single-family homes
Production & spec homes
Townhomes & cottages
Additions & accessory dwellings
Gut rehab & renovation

Our approach

We adapt to how you bid, not the other way around.

Every client gets a takeoff format tailored to their workflow — not a one-size-fits-all spreadsheet.

Step 01

Send your plans

Upload drawings in any format — PDF, Revit export, Bluebeam file, CAD. Include your scope, CSI divisions needed, and bid due date. That's it.

Step 02

We measure to your spec

Your estimator digitally measures every line item in Bluebeam or PlanSwift, applying the spec and unit of measure your trade and bid format requires.

Step 03

Receive bid-ready numbers

You get a clean, organized deliverable — quantity takeoff, priced estimate, or both — formatted exactly how your team submits bids.

“They did a fantastic job. The process was straightforward, the takeoff was accurate, and they delivered right on time. Exactly what we needed to put together a strong bid.”

Common questions

What clients ask before they start.

If your question isn't answered here, reach out directly — we respond the same day.

Ask Us Directly

Any standard construction document format works — PDF is most common, but we also accept Revit exports, CAD files, and Bluebeam packages. Just include your scope of work and the bid due date.

Most scopes are delivered in 24–48 hours. Larger full-project estimates or complex commercial sets may require 3–5 business days. We confirm timeline when you submit your plans.

Yes — we work on custom homes, production builds, multi-family, commercial office, retail, industrial, and public projects. Project size is not a barrier.

Absolutely. We offer quantity-only takeoffs, priced estimates, or both. Many subcontractors prefer raw quantities so they can apply their own unit costs.

Every takeoff is measured digitally using Bluebeam or PlanSwift and reviewed by a senior estimator before delivery. We target ±2% accuracy and flag ambiguities or plan conflicts in our deliverable.

You receive an organized Excel workbook and PDF export, formatted by CSI division. Line-item quantities, unit costs, and subtotals are included. We can match your existing bid template on request.
