Tilt-up takeoff,
panel by panel.
Tilt-up is a volume game with a twist: lots of repeated panels, but each with its own reinforcing, embeds and openings. Count the panels by hand and the embeds slip; let the embeds slip and the bid's wrong.
Panels, concrete, reinforcing, embeds
A tilt-up takeoff is panel area and concrete volume, reinforcing tonnage with laps, formwork for panels and footings, and the embed and lift-insert count that's easy to under-read across a panel schedule. Pilars reads the panel elevations and the structural set, totals concrete and rebar, takes off form area, and counts embeds and openings panel by panel — so the repetition speeds you up instead of tripping you up.
A reviewed first pass, sourced to the sheet
Every quantity comes back with a confidence score and the sheet it came from, so your review lands on the odd panel or the congested reinforcing instead of re-listing the whole job. The crane sequencing, the bracing, the pour judgment stays with you; the listing and the volume math is handled.
- Panel area and concrete volume by element
- Rebar tonnage with laps and accessories
- Formwork for panels and footings
- Embeds, lift inserts and openings counted
Questions estimators actually ask
Does it count embeds and lift inserts?
Yes — and that's a classic tilt-up miss. It counts embeds, inserts and openings panel by panel off the panel schedule, not just the concrete.
Does it do rebar tonnage and formwork?
Both, separately from concrete volume, with laps and form area broken out, since those are where manual numbers slip.
Does the repetition actually help?
Yes — repeated panels get recognized and counted consistently, so you get the speed benefit of repetition without copying a mistake across every panel.
Is this for the concrete sub or the GC?
Either — a concrete sub bids their scope, a GC scopes and levels it. The concrete, rebar and formwork come off the same set.
