Questions

Frequently asked questions

  • How fast do I get the takeoff back?

    In 24 to 48 hours, counted from when Khoi confirms the job. If the plan set is large or missing sheets, he tells you before the clock starts.

  • What do I need to send?

    A PDF of the plan set by email to khoi@plankore.ai, and a line on what you want measured. If the job needs talking through first, call 408-718-2521.

  • What do I get back?

    An Excel file with quantities grouped by assembly in purchasing units, the marked-up plan pages showing where every number came from, and access to the live takeoff in Plankore for that project. One revision pass is included.

  • Who checks the numbers?

    Every takeoff is reviewed line by line by Khoi Nguyen, a California-licensed Professional Engineer and General Contractor and a former plan checker, before it leaves.

  • Is there a discount to try it?

    Yes. Your first takeoff is 50% off.

  • Where do you work?

    We take jobs across the United States. Plans are sent digitally, so the job's location does not change turnaround.

  • Do you count formwork as well as concrete?

    Yes. Form contact area is counted face by face and listed separately from volume, because the two price very differently and most of the labor is in the forms.

  • Which mix designs do you split the quantities by?

    Whatever the structural notes call out. If the plans specify different strengths for footings, slabs and walls, they come back as separate lines rather than one pooled yardage.
