Your Trusted Partner for Concrete Estimating
ACON Engineering delivers concrete estimating and takeoff services to general contractors, concrete contractors, foundation contractors, and developers nationwide. Contractors working on slabs, driveways, and paving spend most of their time on site, leaving little time for accurate plan measurement and bid pricing. We take that work off your plate.
Our certified Division 3 estimators read your drawings, quantify every concrete item from footings and foundation walls to columns, formwork, and reinforcement, then price each line with RSMeans and zip code rates. Backed by 15+ years of experience and AACE standards, we deliver a clean, editable Excel takeoff.
Complete Concrete Estimating and Takeoff Services
Our concrete estimating services cover every scope your bid needs, from quantity takeoffs to restoration. We measure each item on your plans, price it to your zip code, and hand you a takeoff you can bid from. Each concrete takeoff below is prepared by certified Division 3 estimators.
Concrete Quantity Takeoff
We measure the concrete on your plans by cubic yards and cubic meters across slabs, footings, foundations, and columns. Each takeoff gives you accurate volumes and a clear cost basis, so your concrete bid reflects the true quantity on the project.
Reinforcement Takeoffs
We quantify your steel rebar, wire mesh, stirrups, dowels, and anchors down to the bar. Our reinforcement takeoffs prevent undercounting and material waste, so your bid carries the full cost of every reinforcing item on the job.
Equipment and Labor Estimating
We price the equipment and labor your concrete work demands, from cranes, pumps, and mixers to skilled and unskilled man-hours. Each estimate matches real site conditions, so your labor numbers hold up instead of running on a national average.
Value Engineering
We review your plans for cost-saving alternatives in materials and methods. Our team finds the options that lower your concrete cost without weakening quality or strength, so you submit a leaner bid and keep the project profitable.
Change Order Estimates
Whenever a plan changes or site conditions move the cost, we measure the impact and show you the new total, so you stay in control of the budget through every revision.
Restoration Estimates
We estimate concrete demolition, surface repairs, and structural retrofitting on existing structures. Each takeoff captures the materials, labor, and equipment your restoration scope needs, so you bid repair and retrofit work with the same accuracy as new construction.
Deliverables We Provide With Every Concrete Takeoff
You receive a concrete takeoff spreadsheet you can bid from the same day. We deliver your quantities by the CSI Division 3, with material, labor, and equipment costs, man-hours, and marked-up drawing plans. Every file carries a takeoff summary with overhead and profit, plus a clear list of inclusions and exclusions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We quantify every concrete item in your plans. This includes slabs on grade, footings, foundations, columns, piers, caissons, shear walls, decks, tie beams, bond beams, lintel blocks, headers, square pilasters, retaining walls, parking lots, driveways, patios, countertops, and grading. We also count reinforcement, including rebar, wire mesh, dowels, anchors, and struts, all organized by CSI Division 3.
A concrete takeoff is the measured list of quantities from your plans, such as cubic yards of slab and tons of rebar. A concrete estimate adds pricing across material, labor, and equipment. We deliver both, so you see the counts and the costs in one file.
Concrete cost depends on material grade, reinforcement, labor and equipment, project size, and site conditions. Soil, access, and weather change the price, and tight timelines add overtime. We account for each factor, so your estimate reflects the real project, not a flat average.
We prepare takeoffs in PlanSwift and Bluebeam, then price with RSMeans. Our certified estimators work to AACE and AIQS standards and specialize in CSI Division 3, so your concrete estimate meets real industry requirements.
Our estimates are highly accurate because certified Division 3 estimators measure your plans on screen and price them with current market data. A senior estimator reviews every takeoff before delivery, which catches missed items and protects your margin.
We serve general contractors, concrete contractors, foundation contractors, and developers across residential, commercial, industrial, and civil projects. From driveways and foundations to bridges, dams, and high-rise footings, we price each scope according to its own requirements.
We deliver most concrete estimates within 24 to 72 hours, with a rush option for tight deadlines. You receive an editable Excel file and a marked PDF, or your own template if you prefer.
Underbid the Concrete and You Lose Money on Every Pour
Miscount the cubic yards or skip the rebar, and your margin is gone before the first truck arrives. Send ACON Engineering your plans, and our certified Division 3 estimators will measure every slab, footing, and foundation, price it to your zip code, and return a bid-ready takeoff in 24 to 72 hours.
