Simply put, TakeOff16 is a contractor's online estimating department. We perform detailed and accurate takeoffs on small to medium sized commercial electrical construction projects. These take-offs are then compiled into a 100% digital file called the 'E-xtension' and made available for purchase through our web site. They are then delivered directly to the contractor via e-mail. You can learn more about the 'E-xtension' and our take-off methods by visiting the "Our Product" page. Why use TakeOff16? TakeOff16 is the perfect estimating tool for Electrical Contractors who need to increase their bidding volume without sacrificing the accuracy & quality of their estimates. By using TakeOff16, contractors can bid more work and not over tax their precious resources such as project managers. In addition, contractors can cut down on overhead costs by not having to hire additional full-time estimators, who, may only be needed during the busiest periods and not necessarily all year. TakeOff16 gives contractors the opportunity to maintain a busy estimating schedule without having to make their full-time employees work late nights and weekends. Successful contractors know that in the long run, it is more beneficial to give estimators and project managers the weekend off rather than having them work too much, get burned out and hate their jobs. And a contractor's family sure won't hate having mom or dad around at night, or on the weekend, at afternoon soccer practice, at the school play, etc. |

Estimating is a numbers game Most contractors understand that bidding and winning multiple projects is a numbers game. The more you bid, the more you will win. Unfortunately, the percentages are very low, with a high win percentage of only 20-30%. That means a contractor is doing great if he only wins 2-3 jobs for every 10 bids. Of course, the key to truly successful bidding is not just maintaining a high volume of bids, but winning bids with the right numbers... numbers derived from accurate estimates. These accurate estimates can only be achieved by starting out with complete, accurate and thoroughly reviewed takeoffs. How does a contractor achieve complete, accurate and thoroughly reviewed takeoffs? A better question is how does a contractor achieve "multiple", complete, accurate and thoroughly reviewed takeoffs? The answer is easy: Time and Resources. Time is an easy one. Every contractor has plenty of time, right? As for the resources, well, every contractor has a complete staff of estimators, right? For most contractors, the answer to both of these questions is "wrong!" In today's fast paced, aggressively competitive market, contractors are lacking both the time and resources to produce multiple estimates. And remember, in order to be successful these estimates need to be derived from complete, accurate and thoroughly reviewed takeoffs. How we compare in the Big Picture? Click here. |
