Know Exactly What You're Ordering

When you're preparing a bid or planning a project in Hilliard, Florida, the difference between a winning number and a losing one often comes down to how accurately you count materials. Building quantity take-offs give you the exact number of beams, panels, fasteners, and other components your project requires. Aerial Metrology & Inspection works with structural and architectural drawings to produce material quantity calculations that reflect what will actually be built, not rough guesses that leave room for costly adjustments later.

This service starts with your design files and site documentation. We extract measurements for every material category your estimator or purchasing team needs, whether it's steel tonnage, concrete volume, roofing square footage, or door and window counts. The output integrates with BIM workflows and construction management platforms, so your team in Hilliard can move directly from take-off to procurement without re-entering data or second-guessing totals.

If you're managing a project that depends on accurate material counts and competitive pricing, reach out to discuss your plans.

Your take-off begins with a review of architectural and structural drawings, which we process using measurement tools calibrated to the scale and units in your files. We isolate each material type and count or measure it according to how it will be ordered—linear feet for framing, square feet for cladding, or individual units for fixtures. For projects in Hilliard, we can work from PDF plans, CAD files, or BIM models depending on what your design team provides.

Once the take-off is complete, you receive a detailed breakdown that shows quantities by material, assembly, or trade. Accurate estimates reduce cost overruns by eliminating the need for emergency orders or unused surplus that sits in storage. You'll also have documentation that supports your bid and provides a clear reference if scope or design changes during construction.

The data can be formatted for integration with estimating software or sent as a spreadsheet, depending on how your team works. This service does not include site visits or field verification unless paired with a separate data collection or inspection service. It is based entirely on the documentation you provide, so drawings should be current and dimensioned.

Every project has different requirements, and most clients want to know how take-offs fit into their schedule and workflow before they commit.
