Wichita Metal Take-off Service

We don’t just do the takeoff, we supply the metals too. 316-217-8107

We’ll Help You Estimate & Build Your Project

Estimating steel requirements from construction drawings can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Our steel and metal takeoff service helps contractors, construction managers, and steel erectors determine exactly what materials are needed for their projects and then supply those materials ready for installation.

Simply send us your blueprints, shop drawings, CAD files, or even hand-drawn sketches, and our team will review the quote for the materials required. From structural beams to plates and miscellaneous metals, we create a detailed takeoff that turns directly into a steel order and fabrication plan.

Unlike standalone estimating services, our takeoffs are designed to move seamlessly into sourcing, processing, and delivery, helping you get the metal you need faster and with fewer steps.

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

The goal is simple: eliminate errors, reduce waste, and speed up your project timeline!
