Ongoing Division 07 Insulation Takeoffs

I run an insulation outfit that handles every category—thermal, acoustic, and fire-resistant—across both residential and commercial jobs. Because we bid continuously, I need a reliable estimator who can jump in whenever a new set of drawings lands on my desk and turn around accurate Division 07 material takeoffs for walls and roofs.

Here’s how I picture the workflow: I email you the plans (PDF or CAD). You review, perform a meticulous quantity survey, then send back a clear spreadsheet that breaks down square footage, linear footage, and any ancillary materials by location and assembly. If you prefer Bluebeam, PlanSwift, On-Screen Takeoff, or a similar platform, that’s fine as long as the final numbers are precise and easy to trace back to the drawings.

Deliverables for each project
• Itemized takeoff in Excel (or Google Sheets) with separate tabs for walls and roofs
• Marked-up plan pages showing measurements and notes
• Short summary highlighting assumptions or RFIs, so nothing slips through the cracks

Turnaround is typically two to three days, though faster responses on smaller sets are a bonus. Consistency is more important than speed; I have regular work waiting for someone who can keep the counts tight and the communication clear.
