Footings, Slabs & Structural Concrete
Concrete Estimating
Concrete is typically the largest early-cost item on a project, so accuracy matters. We estimate cast-in-place and precast concrete — footings, foundations, slabs, walls, columns, and suspended structures — including formwork, reinforcement, and finishing.
What's Included
Concrete Volume Takeoffs
Cubic yards calculated for footings, walls, slabs, columns, and elevated decks.
Formwork Quantities
Contact area, forming systems, and stripping labour estimated.
Reinforcing Steel
Rebar by size and weight with laps, chairs, and accessories.
Finishing & Curing
Slab finishes, sealers, hardeners, and curing compounds accounted for.
Placing & Pumping Costs
Pump, crane, and labour requirements priced with each pour.
Cold-Weather Allowances
Heating, blankets, and admixture adjustments for Canadian conditions.
Why Choose Estimating Canada
Built For Contractors Who Need It Right
Concrete estimating services for Canadian contractors
Concrete is priced in more places than most people think: the concrete itself, the formwork, the rebar, the finishing, the pumping and, for half the year in Canada, the cost of keeping it from freezing.
We prepare concrete takeoffs and estimates for footings, slabs, walls, columns, stairs and structure, with concrete, formwork and reinforcing shown as separate lines.
| What we count and price
| Canadian concrete detail
| Yards or metres
We report in cubic yards, cubic metres or both, to match what your supplier quotes in.
| Waste and winter costs
Concrete waste, from spillage, over-excavation and form leakage, is shown as its own line, usually up to about 10%. Winter protection also gets its own line, so you can see what November through March adds instead of having it buried in the unit price.
| Timing
Small concrete takeoffs are normally ready in about 4 to 6 hours and larger projects in 6 to 48 hours, depending on size and urgency.
Frequently asked questions
Do you quote in yards or metres?
Either, or both. Tell us what your supplier uses.
Do you do rebar detailing?
We take off reinforcing quantities for estimating. Shop detailing for fabrication is a separate service.
Do you include pumping?
Yes, as a separate line, when the project calls for it.
Can you price winter concrete?
Yes. Winter protection is priced as its own scope.
