Interior Finishes and Architectural Trades

8

Takeoffs and estimates for the trades that finish the interior build-out.

Acoustical Ceilings

Tribuild takes off ceilings from the reflected ceiling plan: tile and grid by area and ceiling type, with specialty ceilings, clouds, baffles, and perimeter trim counted separately and seismic requirements carried where the code demands them.

Architectural Millwork and Casework

Tribuild takes off millwork and casework from elevations and details: base and upper cabinets by linear foot, countertops by area, and custom pieces counted individually, with hardware, panels, and trim carried so each item is priced to the drawings.

Commercial Drywall and Metal Framing

Tribuild takes off drywall and metal framing the way you build it: by wall type and assembly. Studs, board, insulation, and accessories are quantified per partition type, with fire- and sound-rated assemblies and finishing levels carried correctly so your labor and material stay defensible.

Commercial Flooring

Tribuild gives commercial flooring contractors accurate, well-documented takeoffs and estimates: by material and by area, so your team can price faster, bid more work, and defend every number. Carpet, resilient, hardwood, sports, and static-control systems, with floor prep and moisture mitigation called out separately.

Commercial Painting

Tribuild takes off paint and coatings by substrate and system: walls, ceilings, doors, frames, and structural steel quantified by area and count, with surface prep, primer, and finish coats broken out so your labor and material follow the specification.

Doors, Frames, and Hardware

Tribuild builds your opening count from the door schedule: doors, frames, and hardware sets carried opening by opening, with fire ratings, electronic hardware, and access-control coordination flagged so nothing on the schedule is missed.

Glass and Glazing

Tribuild takes off glazing by system: storefront, curtain wall, and window wall quantified by elevation, with openings, entrances, and interior glass counted and sealants and hardware carried so each system is priced completely.

Tile and Stone

Tribuild takes off tile and stone by product and location: floors, walls, and wet areas quantified by area with the full setting-bed system, waterproofing, crack-isolation, grout, and trims carried so nothing under the tile gets missed.

Building Envelope Trades

4

Roofing, cladding, insulation, and waterproofing scopes that seal the building.

Commercial Roofing

Tribuild takes off roofing by system and roof area: membrane, insulation, and cover board by square, with tapered layouts, flashing, edge metal, and every penetration and curb detailed so your bid carries the whole assembly, not just the field.

Exterior Wall Panels and Siding

Tribuild takes off cladding by system and elevation: panels by area with the subframing, flashing, trims, and sealants that make them watertight, so metal, composite, and fiber-cement systems are each priced as complete assemblies.

Insulation

Tribuild takes off insulation across the building and its systems: thermal and acoustic insulation by area, continuous insulation by envelope zone, and mechanical pipe, duct, and equipment insulation by linear foot, each carried to the specified R-value and thickness.

Waterproofing

Tribuild takes off waterproofing and air barriers by system and location: below-grade, plaza-deck, and above-grade membranes by area, with joints, sealants, drainage composites, and protection carried so the whole envelope system is priced, not just the field membrane.

Structural, Site, and Civil Trades

7

Concrete, steel, masonry, and the site scopes that shape the structure.

Concrete

Tribuild takes off concrete by structural element: slabs, footings, walls, and columns by volume, with reinforcing by weight, formwork by contact area, and embeds and accessories counted, so every element is priced with its concrete, steel, and forming carried together.

Masonry

Tribuild takes off masonry by wall type: CMU and brick by unit count and area, with the mortar, grout, reinforcing, flashing, and lintels that complete the wall, so each masonry assembly is priced with everything it takes to build it.

Paving and Site Concrete

Tribuild takes off paving and site concrete by section and area: asphalt and concrete pavement with their aggregate base, plus curbs, sidewalks, ramps, and aprons by linear foot and area, so parking and site packages are priced to the pavement sections.

Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings

Tribuild takes off PEMB scope around the metal-building package: framing, panels, insulation, and trim by area and linear foot, with framed openings, accessories, and the foundation and erection coordination your bid needs beyond the manufacturer quote.

Sitework and Excavation

Tribuild produces earthwork and sitework takeoffs from the civil documents: cut and fill balanced against existing and proposed grades, with stripping, aggregate, trenching, and erosion control quantified so your dirt bid is built on real volumes, not assumptions.

Structural and Miscellaneous Metals

Tribuild takes off Division 05 across both scopes: structural steel by member and weight, and miscellaneous metals by unit and linear foot, with connections, embeds, and fabrication carried so your steel and misc. packages are each priced completely.

Underground Utilities

Tribuild takes off wet and dry utilities from the civil plans and profiles: pipe by size and linear foot, structures counted by type, and trenching, bedding, and restoration carried so each utility run is priced from surface to invert.

MEP Trades

3

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems quantified from plans and schedules.

Electrical

Tribuild takes off electrical by system: service and distribution, feeders, branch circuits, lighting, and devices, with conduit and wire measured by linear foot and every fixture, gear item, and connection counted, so your bid is built on the drawings, not on assemblies.

HVAC and Mechanical

Tribuild takes off HVAC and mechanical by system: ductwork by weight and area, piping by size and linear foot, and equipment counted by tag, with air devices, controls, and insulation carried so the full mechanical scope is priced.

Plumbing

Tribuild takes off plumbing by system: fixtures counted, and domestic water, sanitary, vent, storm, and gas piping measured by size and linear foot, with equipment, valves, and supports carried so your bid follows the drawings.

Infrastructure and Industrial Contractors

5

Heavy civil and industrial contractors bidding complex, multi-discipline work.

Industrial Process Contractors

Tribuild supports industrial and process contractors with quantity takeoffs across mechanical, structural, and civil scope: process piping by size and linear foot, equipment counted by tag, and foundations and platforms quantified, built from the drawings for bid.

Marine Construction

Tribuild supports marine contractors with quantity takeoffs for waterfront structures: piles, marine concrete and steel, and fender and mooring systems, quantified from the plans so pier, dock, and bulkhead bids are built on real numbers.

Power-Generation Contractors

Tribuild supports power and energy contractors with quantity takeoffs across civil, structural, mechanical, and electrical scope: foundations, structural steel, process piping, and electrical distribution, for the disciplines approved for delivery on each project.

Transportation Infrastructure

Tribuild supports transportation contractors with quantity takeoffs across heavy-civil scope: pavement, earthwork, drainage, structures, and MOT, built from the plan and profile so bid items are quantified to the drawings.

Water and Wastewater Contractors

Tribuild supports water and wastewater contractors with multi-discipline quantity takeoffs: process concrete structures, process piping and equipment, and mechanical, electrical, and I&C scope, built from the drawings for treatment-plant and pump-station bids.

Other Specialty Trades

3

Specialty scopes with their own takeoff logic and estimating detail.

Demolition

Tribuild takes off demolition by scope and area: selective interior and structural removal quantified by area, volume, and count, with concrete cutting, MEP demo coordination, protection, and haul-off carried so the demo bid is complete.

Epoxy, Terrazzo, and Polished Concrete

Tribuild takes off resinous and polished floors by system and area: epoxy and urethane coatings, terrazzo, and polished concrete, with surface prep, moisture mitigation, cove base, and joints carried so the whole floor system is priced.

Window Treatments

Tribuild takes off window treatments opening by opening: shades, blinds, and drapery counted and sized from the elevations and schedule, with pockets, hardware, and motorization carried so the treatment package is priced completely.
