Streamlining the takeoff process

Streamlining the takeoff process

Get to quoting faster with quick takeoff turnaround from Central States Manufacturing. 

Correctly calculating a metal roof takeoff is an important part of the estimating process, and a measurement that, if inaccurate, can lead to serious consequences. This is why Central States Manufacturing, is finding ways to simplify the takeoff process – so distributors and contractors can get to accurately quoting and ordering faster.  

Takeoffs must be calculated by taking roof geometry, panel layouts, trim details, waste management and other details all into account. It’s no small task, and it’s certainly time consuming. For contractors looking to cut back on the labor and time required for these estimations, Central States is offering a premium takeoff service at no additional charge to their customers and promising a turnaround time of 48 hours or less.  

Working with Central States, distributor reps and contractors can trust that something as simple as an address can be turned into an accurate takeoff and an actionable quote.  As a metal panel manufacturer, the Central States Takeoff Team of metal experts knows first-hand the intricacies of takeoffs, and aims to tackle the challenges that work can bring. With their partnership, contractors can expect clear, ready-to-use quotes and a simple submission process that helps reduce admin time.  

Creating an accurate estimate that aligns with real-life product systems can be a gamble if your team isn’t an expert in the product line, but this is where Central States shines. Their team knows intimately the ins and outs of each product line item, and how those measurements should be reflected in detailed cut lists and quotes.  

Protect your margins and execute projects with confidence. Central States aims to be a partner that can be depended on to provide high-quality materials as well as a reliable resource to turn to when you need fast and accurate takeoffs and quotes.
