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.

Division 09 flooring takeoffs and pricing
BidAccurate's flooring estimating services are used by flooring subcontractors, general contractors, suppliers, developers, and homebuilders across the US. Send us the floor plans, finish schedule, details, specs, and addenda. We return a flooring takeoff or a priced estimate, whichever your bid needs.
A finish plan rarely tells the whole story. Real cost sits in the reducers at doorways, the cove base in the restrooms, the leveling under the LVT, and the waste on a herringbone floor. We measure those items separately by finish code and room, and we flag work that belongs to another trade.
We build each estimate from your finish plans, room finish schedule, details, specs, and addenda. These are the categories a flooring package usually covers. Yours includes only the ones in your contract.
Seam layouts, roll direction, and plank orientation move the order quantity more than room area does. We measure each finish code by room and carry layout waste as its own line so you can see it.
A herringbone wood floor and a straight-lay plank floor can cover the same SF and price very differently. Hard surfaces get split by material, size, pattern, and setting bed.
Resinous floors are counted coat by coat: primer, body coats, broadcast, and topcoat, plus the cove that runs up the wall.
Floor prep is where flooring bids quietly lose money. If the drawings call for leveling or moisture mitigation, we quantify it. If the slab is existing and the documents say nothing, we carry a labeled allowance.
Labor follows the measured work: SY of carpet laid, LF of base set, SF of tile grouted. Demo, concrete repair, and final clean sit on separate lines unless they're yours.
We report in the units your supplier quotes in.
Send the plans, finish schedule, specs, addenda, and your bid date. Include supplier quotes or labor rates if you have them. We'll look over the set and confirm what we'll deliver and when.
Request Your Flooring Takeoff
We read the room finish schedule against the finish plans, so the FL-2 in Room 104 is the same FL-2 in your takeoff. Base, transitions, and patterns stay with the rooms they belong to.
Your estimator starts with areas, base runs, and counts already measured and marked on the plans.
Suppliers get quantities broken out by product, color, size, and floor, which makes their quotes easier to compare line for line.
Leveling compound, base corners, a reducer at every door, stair nosings, attic stock. Small lines like these drop off rushed bids, so we check for each one.
Every number points to a sheet and a shaded zone on the markup. Your PM can trace it without remeasuring.
Send supplier quotes, installer rates, and waste factors and we'll build the estimate on them. Cost codes and your own template work too.
Flooring bids go wrong in familiar places: a finish code that doesn't match the plan, prep nobody priced, a reducer at every door that never got counted. Our process is set up to catch them.
A lot of flooring errors start with a finish code that doesn't match the plan. We cross-check the schedule, finish plans, details, specs, and addenda before measuring, and log every conflict we find.
Carpet tile in the corridors and broadloom in the offices get their own lines, even in the same color.
Floor prep, moisture allowances, protection, and cleanup each have a line. You can see what's carried and strike what isn't in your contract.
Markups, sheet references, and the assumption log show where each number came from and which questions are still open.
Excel or PDF, sorted by floor, room, finish code, phase, or cost code. Send your spreadsheet and we'll fill it in.
When an addendum swaps a product or adds rooms, we compare the new set against the old one and update the affected lines under an agreed revision scope.
Scope gets confirmed before anyone measures. From there it's takeoff, pricing if you want it, a check against the documents, and delivery.
Floor plans, finish plans and schedules, details, specs, and addenda. Add the bid form, project location, deadline, and any pricing you want us to use.
We agree on what's yours: finish systems, base, prep, demo, and alternates. We also settle the waste basis and how the report should be laid out.
Floor areas, base and transition runs, stairs, and accessories are measured, then grouped by product and location.
If pricing is part of the job, we apply material costs, crew production, labor rates, freight, and waste. Where you've sent supplier quotes, we use those.
Quantities get compared to the plans, schedules, specs, and addenda before delivery. Conflicts and open questions go into the scope notes.
You get the Excel or PDF reports, color-coded markups, material and labor summaries, and scope notes.
Send the documents and tell us what you need: quantities only, material breakdowns for suppliers, or a priced flooring estimate.

What you get back
Suppliers can quote from it, your estimator can price installation from it, and your PM can track addenda against it. The quantities also drop into your estimating spreadsheet. It supports bidding and purchasing and doesn't replace manufacturer instructions, design documents, field verification, substrate testing, or your means and methods.
Finish areas, base, transitions, stairs, underlayments, and prep, grouped by product, room, floor, or your bid items.
Material, install labor, prep, equipment, freight, and waste priced from the basis you confirmed. Indirects are added only if you ask for them.
Finish plans with each product zone, base run, and transition shaded, so you can check the takeoff by eye.
What's in, what's out, substrate allowances, attic stock and waste assumptions, and the questions the documents leave open.
Need more than the floors? These services cover the rest of the job, or the concrete underneath.
Need quantities only? We measure the flooring and mark up the plans, and your team handles pricing.
Put flooring inside a full project estimate alongside the other trades, general conditions, and markups.
Slabs, toppings, and slab repair often sit right under the flooring scope. Price them as their own concrete package.
Partner with experienced construction professionals to deliver your project on time along with in budget.
