Expert Quantity Surveying for Smarter Project Management

Every successful construction project starts long before the first brick is laid, and we at Paragon Estimating are aware of this. Clear documentation, cost control, and precise planning are the first steps. Our quantity surveying services can help with that.

Consider attempting to construct a house without knowing the cost or the quantity of materials required. It's a surefire way to fail. To ensure that you're building on clarity and confidence rather than just steel and concrete, our team of professionals steps in. 

The Role of Quantity Surveying in Construction

Managing all expenses associated with construction and civil engineering projects is part of quantity surveying services. Quantity surveyors ensure that projects stay profitable and financially possible from the first estimations to the final numbers.

But we create success stories, not just stats. Regardless of whether you are a homeowner, developer, architect, or contractor, Paragon Estimating's methodology is customized for each customer. To make sure your project never goes over budget, we offer comprehensive quantity takeoff services, material breakdowns, and cost projection reports.

Essential Functions of Quantity Takeoff and Estimating

Accuracy Starts with Takeoff

Before any work begins, you need a quantity takeoff—a detailed list of all the materials and labor required. This is where many projects either succeed or fail. Our quantity takeoff and cost estimating services provide a clear map for your construction journey.

We use digital takeoff software and manual methods for precision, giving you a thorough view of:

• Materials required (concrete, steel, wood, etc.)
  

• Labor hours and trade involvement
  

• Equipment and machinery needs
  

• Overhead and contingency budgeting
  

Financial Control

Once takeoff is done, we align it with cost estimating. This provides you with realistic budgeting, which is crucial for planning, bidding, and negotiating with suppliers. By keeping everything transparent and aligned with current market rates, we eliminate unwanted surprises later in the project.
