I have a full set of structural and architectural drawings for a commercial project and I need an experienced quantity surveyor to prepare a comprehensive take-off. Every element shown on the plans—steel, concrete, blockwork, finishes, fixtures, you name it—must be captured so I can feed the numbers directly into our cost plan and procurement schedule. Accuracy is critical. Please work to standard measurement rules (CSI or RICS are both acceptable) and indicate any assumptions in a notes column. I will supply the PDFs and drawing register once we start; your deliverable is a neatly organised Excel workbook with separate tabs for structural and architectural items plus a summary sheet that rolls everything up. To keep things moving, I’d like an initial draft within a week for spot checks, then the final file a few days later with any corrections applied. Let me know your relevant experience with commercial builds, the software or digital take-off tools you’ll use, and the turnaround time you can commit to. Fees and time required shall be provided and agreed

You need a quantity takeoff from structural and architectural drawings for a commercial project so I will start by reviewing the PDFs and drawing register you supply. I will build the takeoff using AutoCAD to extract dimensions and quantities directly from the drawings, so steel, concrete, blockwork, finishes and fixtures will all be accounted for. I will use CSI measurement rules for the takeoff, so the numbers will be ready to feed into your cost plan and procurement schedule. Assumptions will be clearly noted in a separate column. The brief leaves the exact format of the Excel workbook for the summary sheet underspecified, so I will assume a structure that provides subtotals for major categories and a grand total, unless you tell me otherwise. 10 reviews on Freelancer at 5.0, everything delivered on time and on the agreed price so far. What is the approximate total square footage of the building? I will deliver a neatly organised Excel workbook with separate tabs for structural and architectural items, plus a summary sheet, within your requested week.
