Client feedback
Reviews from contractors and subcontractors who send us their bid estimates, takeoffs, and shop drawings.
Review summary: Bart needed shop drawings on a tight schedule. The team discussed the project the same day, delivered drawings within a week, and completed minor revisions the following day. He praised their understanding of the scope, quick responses and progress updates.

Interior, structural, and site demo takeoffs
BidAccurate provides demolition estimating services for demo contractors, general contractors, developers, and estimating teams across the US. We measure the removals on your drawings and work out the crews, equipment, protection, hauling, recycling, and disposal behind them.
Demo bids seldom go wrong on the square footage. They go wrong on what surrounds it: a salvage list buried in the specs, an occupied floor below, a utility nobody showed as capped, a hazmat report that arrived late. We read the existing-condition and demo plans next to the structural, MEP, civil, and new-work sets so those conditions are on the table before you price.
We scope from your existing-condition and demo plans, structural and MEP sheets, specs, any survey or hazmat reports, addenda, alternates, and bid instructions. Bidding only an interior gut? We leave the site removals out.
We take off interior removals room by room and level by level. Demo limits are drawn on the markup, so the walls and finishes that stay are obvious.
A steel frame, a wood-framed wing, and a cast-in-place podium price very differently. Each construction type and element gets its own line, with sequence and access noted.
Exterior demo is checked against the civil and landscape sheets. The markup shows where the demo plan ends and new sitework begins.
MEP demo is easy to undercount from the architectural demo plan alone. We trace it through the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing demo sheets and risers as well.
Debris is split by material stream. That lets you price concrete to a crusher, metal to a scrap yard, and mixed C&D to the landfill at their own rates.
Bid units match how demo actually gets priced.
Send the plans, specs, addenda, and any site or hazmat reports, with the location, bid date, and your pricing inputs. We'll go through the set and confirm what the takeoff will include.

Demo notes, plans, RCPs, elevations, and the new-work drawings are read together. Items to remove, salvage, protect, or leave in place are each marked.
We do the counting and measuring. Your team spends the week on crews, equipment, and sequencing.
Each material stream comes with a volume or weight, container counts, and haul assumptions, so you can call the scrap yard and the landfill with numbers in hand.
The removal itself is only part of the cost. Temporary barriers, disconnects, sawcutting, final cleanup, and patch-back interfaces get their own lines too.
Every quantity points back to a sheet, and the colored markups show what's coming out.
Send your labor rates, production, equipment costs, trucking, dump fees, or salvage values and we'll use them. If you'd rather start from quantities only, that works too.
Demo pricing comes down to what leaves, what stays, the order it happens in, where the debris goes, and which temporary or regulated work is yours. We keep each of those decisions on the page.
A wall on the demo plan only makes sense once you know what replaces it. We read existing conditions, demo, structural, MEP, civil, and new-work sheets side by side.
Hand demo versus machine demo, occupied floors below, restricted work hours, and temporary protection all change production. We note the ones that apply to your job.
Concrete, masonry, metal, wood, gypsum, roofing, and mixed debris stay on separate lines for hauling and recycling quotes.
Salvage lists, items to remain, alternates, allowances, and exclusions sit in the scope log with drawing references.
Excel and PDF by building, floor, room, phase, bid item, material stream, or the cost codes in your template.
Send the revised sheets and we update the removals, protection, hauling, and disposal they touch.
Here's what happens between sending us the demo set and getting a priced, marked-up package back.
Existing-condition and demo plans, the architectural, structural, MEP, and civil sets, specs, surveys, any hazmat report, addenda, and the bid form, with location and bid date.
We confirm demo limits, what stays or gets salvaged, where hazmat work sits, protection and phasing, access, disposal assumptions, and alternates.
Areas, lengths, counts, and volumes for interior, structural, MEP, and site demo, each tagged by material and location.
For a priced estimate, we apply crew production, labor rates, equipment, containers, trucking, disposal and recycling, salvage, sub quotes, and the indirects you approved.
We review the takeoff against protection, phasing, utilities, salvage, restoration, specs, and addenda, and log assumptions and exclusions.
An Excel or PDF estimate, removal and debris summaries, scope notes, and color-coded plan markups, set up for bid review or comparing subs.
Tell us what you need: quantities only, crew and equipment pricing, haul-off and disposal numbers, or the full estimate.

Use it to plan crews and equipment, get trucking and disposal quotes, compare sub coverage, check phasing, or move quantities into your estimating system. It supports your bid. It doesn't replace engineering surveys, hazmat inspections, abatement plans, permits, or your own means and methods.
Counts, areas, lengths, and volumes for interior, structural, MEP, and site removals, grouped by building, area, phase, or bid item.
Crew hours, production assumptions, equipment durations, protection and access work, and agreed indirects.
Tons or CY by material stream, with container pulls or truckloads and your disposal, recycling, and salvage assumptions.
Color-coded demo sheets, items to remain, alternates, allowances, exclusions, and open questions.
Need quantities only, a whole-project estimate, or the sitework that follows the demo? These pages cover it.
Demo quantities and marked drawings only, for internal pricing or haul-off quotes.
