HVAC & Mechanical Estimating
Win more mechanical bids with complete, highly detailed HVAC takeoffs. We price ductwork by gauge and pressure class, hydronic piping by diameter and joinery, and ensure all equipment schedule notes and accessories are accounted for.
- Galvanized, Stainless & Welded Grease Duct Linear Footage and Weight Takeoffs (SMACNA Gauges)
- HVAC Equipment Schedule Reconciliations (RTUs, Chillers, AHUs, Boilers, Cooling Towers, VRF/VRV Systems)
- Hydronic Chilled Water, Heating Hot Water, and Condenser Water Pipe Measurement by Material & Size
Electrical Estimating & Power Takeoffs
Precision electrical takeoffs built for commercial, multi-family, institutional, and industrial contractors. We calculate raceway fill, voltage drop adjustments, circuit breaker configurations, and complex low-voltage scopes.
- Switchgear, Switchboards, Panelboards, Step-Down Transformers & Motor Control Centers (MCC)
- Feeder Conduit & Copper/Aluminum Wire Takeoffs (EMT, GRC, PVC-Coated, Schedule 40/80)
- Branch Circuit Home Runs, Device Boxes, Receptacles, Switches, and GFCI/AFCI Assemblies
Plumbing & Piping Estimating
Complete plumbing takeoffs from underground utility connections to roof vents and final trim fixtures. We accurately quantify drainage slopes, pipe fittings, insulation, carrier assemblies, and specialty water treatment systems.
- Sanitary Waste, Vent & Storm Drainage Piping (Cast Iron No-Hub, PVC-DWV, Polypropylene)
- Domestic Cold, Hot, and Hot Water Recirculation Systems (Type L/K Copper, PEX-a, CPVC, ProPress)
- Commercial Plumbing Fixture Counts (Water Closets, Urinals, Lavatories, Mop Basins, Sinks, Showers)
Comprehensive MEP Estimating
Eliminate scope gaps between mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades with our synchronized all-in-one MEP estimating service. We ensure that transformer sizing matches mechanical motor FLA, condensate drain routing is accounted for, and electrical power feeds every VAV box and pump.
- Unified Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing Multi-Trade Master Takeoff Spreadsheets
- Scope Gap Analysis & Architectural/Engineering Discrepancy Audits
- Localized RSMeans Labor Hours & Trade Productivity Calibration
Quantity Takeoff Services
When you need raw, mathematically precise item counts and linear measurements to feed into your proprietary estimating software or supplier purchase orders, our Quantity Takeoff (QTO) service delivers 100% auditable accuracy with 24-48 hour turnaround.
- Exact Linear Footage by Pipe & Conduit Diameter and Material Type
- Sheet Metal Weight Schedules (LBS) by Gauge, Pressure Class, and Fitting Complexity
- Detailed Fixture, Device, and Equipment Counts Matching Engineering Schedules
BIM Coordination & 3D Modeling
Avoid costly field rework and clashes on tight ceiling plenums. We model your mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems in 3D Revit/Navisworks to coordinate clearances with structural steel and gravity plumbing before fabrication begins.
- LOD 300 to LOD 400 Fabrication-Level 3D Revit MEP Models
- Navisworks Clash Detection Reports & Resolution Coordination Matrices
- MEP Shop Drawings, Sleeve Drawings & Wall Penetration Layouts
Gainesville Estimating FAQs
Do your Gainesville takeoffs support hospital and O2/medical gas piping?
Yes. We quantify complete NFPA 99 medical gas systems (oxygen, vacuum, nitrous, medical air), zone valve boxes, master alarms, and clean air filtration systems for medical centers.
