In construction, people are the foundation of success. It’s the team that wins—or loses—a project or client. However, building and retaining a strong team isn’t easy, especially when it comes to critical roles like estimating. Mistakes in estimating can lead to significant financial losses. At Takeoff Monkey, our mission is to simplify construction estimating by removing the bottleneck in the takeoff process. We have your solution – the Dedicated Resource model!
When we launched, all our services were pay-as-you-go. At the time, the idea of an outsourced takeoff service was unfamiliar to most of our customers. Committing to a monthly plan wasn’t feasible for them.
After about three years of offering per-project pricing, we noticed a pattern: customers hesitated to send in larger projects due to unpredictable costs. Owners and managers often had no idea what their monthly takeoff expenses would be, which created uncertainty. Many customers had integrated our services into their processes and depended on us, so we decided to create a better solution.
The Dedicated Resource model is a flat-rate, monthly pricing model designed to give customers consistency and confidence. We assign estimators to your account based on your workload, and they handle everything you send their way. With a 12-month contract, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying each month.
Not quite. We assign resources based on your average project volume. Occasional spikes in workload are covered without extra charges. However, if your volume consistently exceeds the assigned capacity, we’ll discuss adding more resources to meet your needs.
Pricing starts at $3,150 per month ($37,800 annually) for standard 2-D landscape and irrigation takeoff estimators. We also offer solutions for advanced trades like masonry, concrete, and retaining walls, as well as irrigation design.
Output varies depending on the scope, type of work, software used, and level of detail required. For basic 2-D landscape and irrigation projects, a single resource typically completes 60 to 110 pages per month. Advanced trades usually fall below the lower end of that range.
We’ve included several benefits to make the Dedicated Resource model even more valuable:
The DR model has been a game-changer, now accounting for nearly 80% of our revenue. Customers love the predictable pricing, dedicated support, and extra perks. Plus, with our 60-day no-obligation trial, there’s no risk in giving it a shot.
