About this Gig
Hi, I'm Engineer Abdul, a certified cost estimator with 9+ years of experience and 2,000+ projects turning drawings into accurate, bid-ready estimates.
For painting contractors, I know a takeoff needs to be precise, excluding areas like doors and windows unless they're in scope.
What's included
- Primer, paint, and coating quantities with coats-per-spec coverage and waste allowance
- Interior and exterior painting, plus epoxy, elastomeric coatings, and wallcovering
- Editable Excel spreadsheet, formatted to CSI division or NRM standards, bid-ready
I'm well-versed in the USA's CSI format, the UK's NRM3 and SMM7 measurement rules and Australia's POMI standard, so international clients receive an estimate formatted the way their market expects.
I work in PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu, and price using RSMeans, Spon's/BCIS, and Rawlinsons cost data, whichever standard matches your project's region.
Send over your plans, and let's discuss the scope of work. I'll turn around an accurate estimate fast. Thanks!

FAQ
Which Software's do you use for painting takeoffs?
I do use Plan swift & Bluebeam for painting takeoffs
Do you exclude doors and windows from wall area automatically?
Yes, by default — unless you tell me they're in scope (e.g., painted doors or frames), in which case I'll break them out as separate line items.
Do you include a coats-per-spec breakdown, or just total paint quantity?
Coats-per-spec — primer plus each finish coat — with a waste/overage allowance built in, so quantities match how the job will actually be painted.
Do you cover exterior coatings and specialty finishes, not just interior walls?
Yes — interior and exterior painting, plus specialty coatings like epoxy and elastomeric systems, and wallcovering.
What do you need from me to get started?
PDF or CAD drawings and your scope of work — tell me whether you need a full project takeoff or a single trade only, and I'll confirm price and turnaround before starting.
What's your turnaround time?
I'll confirm an exact delivery date after reviewing your drawings and scope — it depends on project size and complexity. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee if you're working to a bid deadline.
What software and pricing data do you use?
PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu for takeoffs, priced with RSMeans, Spon's/BCIS, or Rawlinsons data depending on your region — all kept current.
Do I get a professional document I can send straight to a client or contractor?
Yes — you'll receive an editable Word/Excel file with clear, clean formatting, and I can add your company name and logo so it's ready to submit as-is.
