Send us the plans. We’ll work out what you need.
Why spend valuable time measuring plans and calculating material quantities yourself? Send your project documentation to ADX and let our estimating team do the groundwork!
Why use ADX Takeoffs?
Save time on estimating
Take the manual measuring and quantity calculations out of your workload and let our estimating team work through the plans.
Avoid costly over or under-ordering
Trust ADX to get the right quantities the first time for you, reducing wasted spend and the delays that come with running short on site.
Straight from takeoff to quote
If you’re happy with the numbers it’s easy to get straight into quoting or ordering through us!
How it works
Step 1: Send us your plans
Provide your project floor plans along with the information our estimator needs to complete the takeoff.
We’ll need:
- Ceiling heights
- Cornice or square-set wall details
- Ceiling material/type
- Wall material/type
- Energy Efficiency Report (EER), where insulation is required
- Any other relevant project plans or specifications
No EER? That’s okay. Standard insulation R-values can be nominated for the takeoff, subject to confirmation by the builder.
Step 2: We review the project
The plans and project information are reviewed to make sure there is enough detail to complete an accurate takeoff.
If something important is missing or unclear, we’ll get in touch before estimating begins.
Step 3: We complete the takeoff
Once everything is confirmed, our estimator works through the project plans and calculates the required material quantities.
Allow approximately 4-5 working days for the estimating process.
Larger or more complex projects may require additional time.
Step 4: Prepare a quote with ADX
Once the takeoff is complete, the ADX team can use the calculated quantities to prepare your material quote, so you can place the order and get your project moving.
Frequently asked questions

What is a takeoff service?
A takeoff is a calculation of the exact material quantities a project needs, measured from its plans. ADX Depot’s estimating team reviews your floor plans and specifications and works out quantities for you. This helps you avoid over-ordering, running short on site, and spending hours measuring.
How much does the ADX Depot takeoff service cost?
Takeoff fees vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. Your ADX representative will confirm any applicable Takeoff Service fee before estimating begins. Takeoffs for aluminium fabrication are complimentary.
What do I need to send for a takeoff?
Send ADX Depot:
- your floor plans
- ceiling heights
- cornice or square-set wall details
- ceiling and wall material types
- an Energy Efficiency Report (EER) if insulation is required
- any other relevant plans or specifications
What if I don’t have an Energy Efficiency Report?
You can still request a takeoff. ADX Depot can use standard insulation R-values in the takeoff, as long as the builder confirms them.
How long does a takeoff take?
Allow approximately 4–5 working days for ADX Depot to complete a takeoff. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. If important information is missing, the team will contact you before estimating starts.
