A focused, fixed-fee service: complete material takeoff and a full bid estimate, assembled in your format. When you need more than a number — sub solicitation, leveling, compliance — add it from the Bid Pack, à la carte.
Rushed takeoffs and missed quantities turn winning bids into losing jobs. DRAFT applies predictive modeling and disciplined, document-cited takeoffs so your estimate reflects what the project actually costs — not an optimistic guess.
