Florida Masonry & Structural Concrete Takeoff Services
Bidding structural masonry and concrete foundations in Florida is a high-stakes task. Due to the strict requirements of the Florida Building Code (FBC) for wind-loads and hurricane resistance, estimators must accurately count every block, lintel, tie-beam, rebar element, and concrete yard.
Subcontractors in Miami, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville often lack the time or the in-house staff to turn around complex masonry and concrete bids before the deadline. Missing bid invitations means leaving money on the table, while keeping a full-time estimator on payroll adds heavy fixed overhead during slow seasons.
Takeofix Solutions acts as your virtual estimating department. We deliver precise, wind-code aligned structural masonry and concrete takeoffs starting at $20 per hour, giving you maximum capacity with zero overhead.
Our Specialties: Block CMU Masonry & Concrete Foundations
Our primary focus is structural masonry and foundation takeoffs:
- CMU & Block Masonry (CSI Division 4): Precise counts of concrete masonry units (CMU), lintels, block mesh, horizontal joint reinforcements, grout volumes, and cleanouts.
- Concrete Foundations (CSI Division 3): Accurate estimations for slab-on-grade foundations, footings, tie-beams, reinforced columns, and slab-on-metal decks.
- Rebar Tonnage: Detailed material list of reinforcing steel rebar size, weight, and configuration required for hurricane tie-downs.
Secondary Building Envelope Support
To support complete building envelope tenders, we offer secondary, optional takeoff services for Roofing and Siding. If your masonry package intersects with framing or exterior finishes, we can estimate those secondary packages as an add-on.

📈 Proven Trust: Florida Centennial Speedway Case Study
On the Centennial Speedway commercial tilt-up project in Florida, the canopy projection completely concealed several wall panels on the structural elevations. By carefully comparing the structural drawings against the architectural plans, we found and quantified all the omitted panels. We also caught the overlooked openings, embeds, roof ledgers, and weld connections. Delivering this complete takeoff package meant our client did not miss the hidden scope that so often slips through the cracks in commercial concrete estimating.
