Concrete & Demo
Our Concrete & Demolition estimating services deliver precise quantity takeoffs for all concrete work and demolition scopes. From slab-on-grade to CIP foundation walls, we quantify every pour, rebar weight, and formwork surface — with CCI adjustments applied by state for accurate regional pricing.
Key Highlights of Our Concrete & Demo Services
Demolition Quantities
Every demo item is measured in CY or SF with a clear scope boundary, ensuring your bid accounts for full removal cost without ambiguity.
Slab-on-Grade Takeoffs
Slabs are broken out by thickness and finish type, measured in SF and CY, with edge conditions and control joints accounted for.
Footing Calculations
Continuous and spread footings are calculated by CY with reinforcement weights derived directly from the structural drawings.
CIP Wall Formwork
Cast-in-place walls are measured in SF for formwork and CY for concrete, with separate line items for tie holes and surface treatment.
Rebar Weight & Scheduling
Steel reinforcement is itemized by bar size, weight in tons, and placement zone to support both procurement and labor planning.
CCI State Adjustments
Regional cost adjustments are applied using the Construction Cost Index for GA, NC, VA, TN, SC, and OH, ensuring location-accurate pricing.
Waste & Overlap Allowances
Standard waste factors are applied per material type, and slab overlaps at edges and penetrations are accounted for precisely.
Structural Drawing Coordination
All takeoffs are cross-referenced against structural drawings and specifications to ensure complete scope alignment.
At Author Estimation, our concrete and demolition takeoffs give general contractors and subcontractors the precision needed to bid confidently. Every cubic yard and surface foot is measured from the drawings — no assumptions, no inflated padding.
