Detailed Aluminum Quantity Takeoffs

Aluminum systems often include multiple profiles, sizes, finishes, glazing requirements, and installation details. Accurately identifying these components from construction documents is important when preparing a competitive bid.

Our estimators review floor plans, elevations, wall sections, schedules, details, and specifications to identify aluminum-related work. Quantities are organized according to the project scope so contractors can use the information for estimating, procurement, and bid preparation.

Aluminum Components We Review

Windows & Doors

We identify aluminum window and door types, sizes, locations, and applicable quantities from the available plans and schedules.

Storefront & Curtain Wall

Our team analyzes storefront and curtain wall systems to determine relevant areas, framing requirements, and associated components.

Aluminum Railings

Balcony railings, guardrails, handrails, and other aluminum railing systems can be measured according to the project documents.

Panels & Cladding

We review aluminum panels, exterior cladding, soffits, and other architectural aluminum applications included within the project scope.

Aluminum Cost Estimating for Contractors

Material selection, system type, fabrication, finishes, labor, installation, and project conditions can all influence the cost of aluminum work. A detailed estimate gives contractors a clearer basis for reviewing their pricing.

Our team organizes the available project information and evaluates the aluminum scope so you can approach your bid with better visibility into the quantities and associated costs.
