Prepare a concrete bid with separate quantities for placement, reinforcing and formwork. JLG Estimating measures the agreed structural and flatwork scope from your issued plans, keeping concrete mix references, member dimensions, levels and drawing assumptions visible in the workbook.
Project-based estimating fees. Confirm scope, fee and delivery after document review.
Choose the items required for your bid. Quantities are grouped by the available drawing references, material or assembly, location and unit. Pricing is added only when it forms part of the agreed package.
| Scope item | Measurement | Information retained |
|---|---|---|
| Footings and grade beams | CY | Dimensions, steps and member marks |
| Slabs and elevated decks | SF / CY | Thickness, level, openings and pour zones |
| Foundation and retaining walls | CY | Height, thickness and concrete specification |
| Reinforcement | LB / tons / EA | Scheduled bars, laps and accessories identified separately |
| Formwork | SF contact area | Formed faces and construction sequence assumptions |
| Flatwork and accessories | SF / LF / EA | Joints, embeds, vapor barrier and finishes where specified |
We break the takeoff down by footing, wall, beam and slab designation before summarizing it by level or pour area. A slab thickness change affects volume; it does not automatically change every reinforcement or finishing item. Openings, recesses, thickened edges and foundations beneath the slab are checked as separate geometry so overlapping components are not counted twice.
Rebar quantities follow the available schedules and details. Missing development, lap or connection information is recorded as a clarification rather than supplied as engineering design. For a priced estimate, confirm ready-mix quotes, pumping, finishing, testing, access and placement assumptions. Gross measured quantities and any agreed ordering allowance remain separate.
For workbook organization, see the illustrative deliverable layouts. These layouts show the format; project-specific samples will be identified separately when available.
Tell us the project location, trade scope and whether you need quantities only or a priced estimate. Add your bid deadline if you have one.
Upload the available set, or include a shared drawings link in your message. Note missing documents and any items you want excluded.
We review the available documents and clarify the requested package. The proposal establishes deliverables, fee, revision scope and delivery milestones before estimating work starts.
