Material Take-off (MTO)
A Structural Steel Material Take-off (MTO) is a comprehensive
document used in construction to quantify the various steel
components required for a project. It includes detailed
measurements and listings of steel sections, such as beams,
columns, plates, and bolts, based on design drawings and
specifications. The MTO helps in estimating costs, procuring
materials, and ensuring accurate fabrication and installation,
serving as a critical step in project planning and budgeting within
the construction industry.
Project Budgeting
A properly executed MTO helps prevent common budgeting challenges such as underestimating material
requirements or over-ordering. Our take-off services offer in-depth insights into material costs,
quantities, and specifications, ensuring precise cost estimation and allocation. By streamlining
procurement and aligning it with your project timeline, we help avoid delays and cost overruns,
keeping your projects on schedule and within budget.
Accurate Quantification
Our structural steel material take-off (MTO) service ensures accurate quantification of steel
components such as beams, columns, angles, channels, and plates. By utilizing advanced software and
precise measurement techniques, we eliminate discrepancies that could result in material shortages
or surpluses. This precision helps prevent procurement delays, minimize costs, and ensures the
seamless progression of your project from beginning to end.
Streamlined Workflow
Our MTO service seamlessly integrates with your project workflows by utilizing BIM technology to
synchronize take-offs with your design models. By extracting quantities directly from 3D models
through tools like Revit and Navisworks, we ensure accurate, real-time material requirements. This
integration reduces manual data entry, minimizes errors, and speeds up the material planning
process, boosting overall project efficiency.
Detailed Reports
We provide detailed, itemized reports that break down all steel components, including dimensions,
material types, weight, and delivery specs. Tailored to your project’s needs, these reports simplify
material procurement for contractors and project managers, ensuring accuracy and efficiency. The
reports also include clear visual representations and schematics, offering better insights and
helping track materials throughout the project lifecycle.
Quality Assurance
With extensive experience in the AEC industry, our team is dedicated to providing top-tier MTO
services. We adhere to international standards and best practices to ensure each take-off aligns
with your project’s specific requirements. Quality assurance is integrated at every step, from data
extraction to report generation, with meticulous checks and validations to guarantee accurate
material specifications and the highest level of professionalism.
