Construction takeoff pricing.
Straight-up pricing. No hourly surprises.
PRICING.
You shouldn’t need a calculator just to work out what your takeoff will cost. At My EstiMate, we keep pricing straightforward. You send us your plans, we review the scope, and we confirm the price before we begin. No software subscriptions. No open-ended hourly rates. No surprise invoice at the end. Just accurate construction takeoffs from an experienced New Zealand Quantity Surveyor, priced around the size and complexity of your project.

A deck's not a new build. The price shouldn't be either.
WHAT AFFECTS THE PRICE?
A simple deck takeoff is a very different job from measuring a full new build or commercial fit-out. Your price will depend on:
Project size
Number + complexity of drawings
Trades or quantities required
Level of detail needed
Quality + clarity of the plans
Turnaround required
WHAT’S INCLUDED.
Measured quantities across every trade.
Your takeoff can include measured quantities for:
Earthworks + excavation
Waterproofing
Drainage
Concrete + foundations
Doors + hardware
External works
Masonry, bricks + blocks
Windows + glazing
Fencing + retaining walls
Carpentry, framing + trims
Linings + ceilings
Civil works, pavements + kerbing
