Cooper Takeoffs

Fast. Accurate. Reliable material takeoffs for builders, contractors, architects, and lumberyards. 25,000+ completed. Better estimates = Better Bids.

You don’t need more salespeople.

You need them selling…
not measuring plans at night.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

You can tell a rushed takeoff immediately.

No notes.
Missing detail.
Assumptions everywhere.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

Most companies don’t lose jobs because of price.

They lose them because they couldn’t get a number out fast enough.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

If your takeoffs feel rushed…

They are.

And it shows up later where it hurts most.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

We see it all the time:

Sales rushing takeoffs
→ details get missed
→ field pays for it later

And everyone wonders what went wrong.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

“Sales handles estimating.”

That works…
until it doesn’t.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

Be honest—

How many bids are sitting right now…
because nobody has time to do the takeoff?

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

Bad takeoffs don’t just miss materials.

They slow down bids.
They stall jobs.
They cost you wins.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

You don’t have an estimating problem.

You have a bottleneck.

Sales is stuck doing takeoffs…
and jobs are waiting because of it.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

Your sales team shouldn’t be doing takeoffs.

Every hour they spend estimating…
is an hour they’re not closing work.

Why is that still normal?

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

No info on the plans…

No note in the takeoff…

That’s how risk gets passed downstream.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

Precast slabs show up perfect.

Then the dowels don’t line up.

That’s not install. That’s in the estimate.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

Counting rebar is easy.

Tracking when size and spacing change mid-wall?

That’s where accuracy disappears.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

“Looks standard.”

That phrase has cost more money than bad math.

#estimating

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

You ever get a clean set of foundation plans…

…and still not trust it?

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

You don’t need pile depth to move forward…

But you do need to admit you can’t quantify it.

Big difference.

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

“By others.”

That’s not a note.

That’s a liability transfer.

#construction

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

Most mistakes don’t come from missing plans.

They come from trusting them too much.

#construction

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

Multiple curtain walls with different spacing…

Most don’t miss it.

They oversimplify it.

That’s worse.

#takeoffs

[Cooper Takeoffs @CooperTakeoffs]

Counting dowels without checking spacing?

That’s not detail work.

That’s filler math.
