Precision estimating and detailed planning designed to improve the operational efficiency and profitability of home builders

Construction Research Group offers precision material takeoffs for any or all phases of home building. Our services are diversified to estimate one-time-only custom homes, or multiple elevation plan series with options. The level of precision of material takeoffs is paramount to profitability in today’s climate. If your trades and suppliers are doing your takeoffs, you may not be operating as efficiently as you’d like.

For multiple elevation plans with options, add-in and back-out quantities are synchronized with the base plan to maximize material optimization. Option overlap issues are identified and workaround solutions are offered. Additionally, reported takeoff errors and work order issues can be monitored and resolved throughout first build of each elevation.

To further improve operational efficiencies, Microsoft Excel takeoffs can be formatted to align with your accounting codes and material drop packages. This will provide a pathway for data uploads and the reduction of keyboard errors.

It is our belief the amount of time spent to do a thorough and accurate building material takeoff pales in comparison to the total burden placed on the builder, vendor and suppliers in resolving takeoff errors.
