In any construction project, architectural drawings are the foundation. But turning those drawings into a precise and comprehensive quantity takeoff is a job for specialists. At True Bid Data Inc., we transform complex architectural plans into detailed, CSI-aligned takeoff reports — helping contractors, developers, and architects bid confidently and build accurately.
With over 6 years of experience and hundreds of projects estimated monthly, truebiddata.com has become a trusted name in architectural quantity takeoff services across the USA, UK, and beyond.
Architectural Quantity Takeoff Needs a Specialist Approach
Architectural estimating is not just about measuring square footage or counting doors. Every drawing contains layers of detail — finishes, materials, assemblies, fire ratings, and coordination with other trades. At True Bid Data Inc., we break down every architectural component into accurate quantities, mapped to the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) divisions for consistency and clarity.
