What's Included
Complete Industrial & Process Takeoff
Every industrial takeoff is 100% drawing-referenced — every process line, equipment item, and structural member tied to a specific P&ID, isometric, or equipment layout drawing.
Process Piping Quantities
LF of process pipe by diameter, material (carbon steel, stainless, HDPE, FRP), and service — fittings, flanges, valves, and supports counted separately. Organized by P&ID line number.
Material Handling Equipment
Conveyors, hoists, cranes, monorails, and storage racking — unit counts by type and capacity from equipment schedules and material handling drawings.
Industrial Platforms & Structures
Structural steel platforms, mezzanines, equipment supports, and pipe racks — tonnage by member type, grating SF, and stair/ladder counts.
Tanks, Vessels & Pressure Equipment
Storage tanks, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and specialty vessels — unit counts by type, capacity, and material from equipment lists and P&IDs.
Mechanical & Electrical Utilities
Compressed air, steam, cooling water, and electrical distribution to process equipment — LF of pipe and conduit, valve counts, and panel schedules from utility drawings.
Excel Workbook + Annotated Markups
Quantities in Excel organized by P&ID system, equipment area, and discipline — with annotated PDF markups tied to process drawings, equipment layouts, and piping isometrics.
Why Choose Us
The Union Estimating Difference
P&ID and Isometric Reading
We read P&IDs, piping isometrics, and equipment layout drawings — not just plan views. Every process line is traced from source to destination.
Line-Number Organization
Process piping quantities are organized by P&ID line number so your bid matches the engineering documents and the piping contractor's scope.
Multi-Discipline Coverage
Process piping, structural platforms, material handling, and mechanical utilities are covered in one deliverable — organized by discipline for multi-trade bidding.
Fixed-Fee Quote Before Work Begins
We review your drawings and provide a firm fee before starting. No hourly billing, no surprises.
48–72 Hour Standard Turnaround
Most industrial takeoffs are delivered within 48 to 72 hours. Complex process facilities may require additional time.
Process Engineering Excluded
We quantify from your supplied drawings. Process engineering, P&ID development, and installation are not included.

Delivery Packages
Quantity-Only or Cost Estimate
Two delivery packages available. Quantity-Only delivers measured quantities with no pricing. Cost Estimate adds agreed material and labor pricing using our proprietary database and current supplier/vendor quotes — all assumptions documented.
Quantity-Only Package
- All measured quantities in Excel — LF, SF, CY, unit counts by type
- Annotated PDF markups showing every counted item
- No pricing, no labor rates — quantities only
- Use with your own pricing or subcontractor quotes
Cost Estimate Package
- Quantity-Only: LF, unit counts, and annotated markups — no pricing
- Cost Estimate: material pricing from proprietary DB + current supplier/vendor quotes
- Labor pricing based on trade productivity and documented wage assumptions
- Subcontractor budget allowances for specialty process equipment where applicable
- RSMeans used only for government/DOB work where required by scope agreement
