Columbia Metal Take-off Service

Your Commercial Steel Projects Start Here

Getting accurate steel quantities from drawings takes time, and mistakes can be costly. Our steel material takeoff service simplifies the process by turning your project drawings into a complete material package, ready to be sourced, fabricated, and delivered.

Send us your blueprints, shop drawings, CAD files, or sketches, and we’ll take care of the rest. We calculate the exact materials required and then move directly into supplying and preparing that steel for your job site.

This isn’t just a takeoff  service, it’s a direct path from drawings to delivered steel.

How Our Steel Takeoff Service Works

• Send Your Drawings – PDFs, CAD/CAM files, blueprints, or sketches.
• We Review & Calculate — our experts analyze dimensions, material specs, quantities, and fabrication needs.
• We Create Your Material List – includes steel sizes, cut lengths, weights, and a detailed bill of materials.
• Approval – you review the takeoff before any materials are processed.
• Metal Supply & Fabrication – once approved, we source your metal, cut, drill, bend, and prep it as required.
• Pickup & Delivery – ready to install, helping your project stay on schedule.

By combining takeoff, sourcing, and fabrication, we help eliminate delays and reduce the need to coordinate across multiple vendors.

What Is a Material Take off?

A material takeoff is the process of reviewing construction drawings to determine the exact materials, quantities, and fabrication work required for a project. For steel projects, this includes:

• Accounting for the various metals, grades & shapes
• Measuring lengths and dimensions
• Calculating the total materials needed
• Identifying fabrication requirements like miter cuts, drilled holes, and bent components
• Creating a full bill of materials (BOM) and cut/fab list
