Are drilled shafts included with the footings?
Only when the structural drawings show them and the quote lists deep foundations. Shafts are not assumed from the building type.
Heavy Commercial & Residential Foundations
Structural Concrete Estimating for Footings, Columns & Slabs
From complex multi-story podium decks to heavy industrial mat foundations, we provide rigorous structural concrete takeoffs that account for every rebar bar size, formwork contact square foot, and high-strength mix design.
CSI 03 30 00 Cast-in-Place Structural Concrete
Continuous footings, dense rebar mats, grade beams, and high-strength mix designs estimated with exact cubic yardage and pump truck considerations.
Structural Scopes Covered
Which structural elements are measured separately?
We audit structural drawings (S-sheets), foundation plans, and structural schedules to record measured quantities and flag missing or conflicting details.
Continuous & Spread Footings
Detailed calculation of continuous wall footings (WF schedules), isolated column pads, stepped footings, and keyways with exact waste percentages.
Grade Beams & Foundation Stem Walls
Precise dimensions, depth-below-grade volumetric measurements, and heavy structural reinforcement for grade beams and concrete retaining stem walls.
Structural Columns & Pilasters
Cast-in-place square, rectangular, and round columns, spiral/tied reinforcement cages, and column-to-beam connection zones.
Elevated Slabs & Suspended Decks
Two-way flat slabs, pan joist systems, composite metal deck concrete toppings, and shoring/reshoring requirements.
Cast-in-Place Concrete Shear Walls
Core shear walls for elevator shafts, stairwells, and lateral wind/seismic resisting structural elements.
Deep Foundations (Drilled Shafts & Caissons)
Drilled caissons, auger cast piles, pile caps, and grade ties cross-referenced with geotechnical reports.
Questions about structural concrete quantities
How is elevated-slab concrete separated from the deck form?
Volume is cubic yards from the area and thickness. Formwork is the soffit and edge contact area. The two units stay on different lines.
