Construction takeoffs for contractors across the US

We measure your architectural plans and deliver quantities and material lists so you can bid with confidence — without spending nights over the plans.

A construction takeoff is a detailed measurement of a project's plans to calculate how much material is needed before you bid. At East End Business Services we measure your architectural plans (roofing, siding, exterior trim, flashing and gutters), calculate areas and perimeters, and deliver a material breakdown by section. You get a professional PDF report within 24 to 48 hours of receiving complete plans. We work from your PDF plans, so we serve contractors, framers, roofers, carpenters and remodelers in any US state who need clear quantities to bid without spending hours measuring by hand. We're based in The Hamptons, New York. We work in English or Spanish, and the first consultation is free: tell us about the project and we'll tell you how we can help.

What is a construction takeoff?

A takeoff is a detailed measurement of a project's plans to calculate how much material is needed: linear feet of framing, roof areas, siding, trim and more. It's the foundation of any serious bid: if the takeoff is wrong, the final price is too.

Doing it by hand takes hours a contractor would rather spend on the job site or with customers. We do it for you and deliver it organized and ready to bid.

What's included

• Roofing: shingles, metal, cedar and EPDM, with underlayment, ice & water and ventilation
• Siding: lap, cedar shingle, panel and board & batten, with housewrap
• Exterior trim: fascia, soffit, rakes, corner boards and window and door casing
• Flashing: drip edge, step, valley, apron, kick-out and tie-ins
• Gutters and downspouts with their accessories
• Excel material list and PDF summary, in 24–48 hours
