Every opportunity is different. Sometimes things have to be turned around in a few days, other times 24-hours. Impulse Takeoffs never fails to respond, and I am not waiting two or three days for answers. Using Impulse Takeoffs, I save the expense of another full-time employee yet always have access to just the right amount of additional capacity in estimating.
Our Firm has been working with Paul and his team for about 6 months now. It has been a major asset in allowing us to keep management in the field and Quality Control at a high level. Their product is done in a clear and easy to interpret format that allows us to quickly get all the footages and take-off info that we need
We have undertaken a very expensive experiment over the past 6 months. We handed the same projects to several different local and online takeoff and estimating services to find out who was the best fit for our company. Honesty, accuracy, and a willingness to help us customize the data we need to be most competitive was our criteria. Impulse Takeoffs stood out head and shoulder against all competition and has earned our trust and business. We have a winner!
After considering a number of estimating companies we chose Impulse Takeoffs primarily because they were local. After working with them for a few months we came to really appreciate their fast turn times and good communication. They have really come through for us while we went without a chief estimator for several months.
It has been a pleasure getting to know him and working with him. He understands we are all aiming for the same goal in takeoffs but go about it in different ways. This means his takeoffs may need to be adjusted to suite my needs rather than what may have been done for another company with the same trade. These are the kind of people I take pleasure in working with.
Impulse Takeoffs is a value compared to the cost of a full-time employee. Their professionals read the plans and produce the calculations exactly as I want them, and the hours are allocated as needed to meet my actual workload.
Using Impulse Takeoffs, we confidently propose on more projects and win more work. It really frees up my project managers to be in the field overseeing the work instead of at a desk doing takeoffs. It saves us time and money and helps us concentrate our most valuable resources where we need them.
Accuracy in quantities is definitely important and the backup is always just what I’m asking for. Sending their calculations on to my supplier is basically a copy/paste exercise that really doesn’t involve a lot of risk on my part with Impulse Takeoffs on board.
Obviously, all of this involves a lot of money and a fair amount of risk for the contractor regardless if you are building a high-rise in New York City or hanging drywall in Kansas. Impulse Takeoffs’ willingness to deliver quantity calculations using my logic, my assumptions, and my level of detail allows me to see apples-to-apples against the calculations we are generating in-house.
Impulse Takeoffs, in particular their owner Paul, has been a pleasure to work with and they really helped us during our time of significant growth and the loss of our inhouse estimating personnel. For almost two years we relied solely on the take offs that Impulse provided in order to prepare our estimates and during that time we continued to win work on jobs that have remained profitable. We look forward to continuing to use Paul’s team into the foreseeable future.
We have been working with Impulse Takeoffs for many years, and their service has consistently exceeded our expectations. Paul is always available to address any questions or concerns, and they reliably come through for us with last-minute requests. The spreadsheet format they provide makes quoting jobs both effective and accurate. I highly recommend Impulse Takeoffs for anyone needing outsourced estimating services.
