Estimating and Cost Planning

Accurate measurements and cost planning are essential to preventing budget overruns, reducing risk, and supporting confident project decisions from the very beginning.

At Right Plan Projects, we use professional digital takeoff software to measure directly from your drawings and plans, producing detailed quantity take-offs and cost planning information tailored to your project scope. Our reports support homeowners, contractors, developers, architects, and project teams in budgeting effectively, evaluating bids, planning procurement, and making informed decisions before construction begins.

Each service is delivered as a professional, structured PDF report containing measured quantities, calculations, and clear summaries aligned with your selected scope of work.

Requirements

One complete set of clear, legible project drawings in PDF format is required for measurement.

Drawings must be suitable for digital takeoff. Incomplete, preliminary, or frequently revised drawings may require additional review and could result in revised pricing.

Any scope changes, updated drawings, or revisions submitted after completion will be treated as additional work and billed separately.

Important Information

Pricing is based on service level, project size, and scope of work.

Turnaround times vary depending on complexity and workload.

All estimates and budget outputs are provided for planning purposes and do not guarantee final construction costs.

Getting Started

Most clients begin with a Single Trade Take-Off to test scope accuracy and pricing, and then upgrade to a Five-Trade or Full Project Take-Off as their project requirements become clearer.
