Package 01

Prints + takeoff

$250flat

GC drawing sets are often scanned, cluttered, or split across many sheets. This package gives you clean, redrawn prints from your GC PDF and a full takeoff and parts list counted from them.

It does not include pricing or a proposal. It is built for the question every shop asks first: is this job worth bidding?

What's included

What you get

  • Clean redrawn prints from your GC PDF
  • Full takeoff and parts list
  • Delivered as PDF by email (paper plots at print cost, billed separately)
  • Standard 72-hour turnaround; 24-hour rush for an extra $100

Why it matters

Why contractors buy it

Decide whether to bid

Many shops buy Prints + takeoff first to decide whether to bid. Knowing the counts before you commit estimating time helps you pass on jobs that don't fit.

Order and plan from real counts

A parts list counted from the drawings gives you a starting point for supplier quotes and crew planning.

Clean sheets your crew can read

Redrawn prints are easier to mark up and share than a dense GC PDF.

Examples

What the deliverables look like

Recent completed job

NGCC recently completed a fiber optic and CCTV job on an active military base. The work covered:

  • A fiber optic run between buildings
  • Integrating the new fiber with the site's CCTV system
  • Working on site under security escort
  • Troubleshooting live fiber inside an active comms room
  • Finding a connector mismatch on site and resolving it so the system came up as planned

Field work like this is why we read prints the way installers do. Your takeoff counts what the job will actually need, including the connectors and terminations that are easy to miss on paper.

Process

How it works

  • Send the full package: prints, scope of work, addenda, and specs, plus your labor and material rates for priced packages.
  • We review your documents and confirm scope.
  • Payment is due in full before work starts, by credit card, debit card, or ACH. No checks.
  • We build the package in 72 hours from when payment clears, or 24 hours with rush (+$100). Card payments clear right away; ACH can take a few business days. Large multi-building or multi-volume federal sets are quoted separately.
  • You receive a PDF by email. Paper plots at print cost, billed separately.

Revisions and upgrades

Changes after delivery

  • No pricing, proposal, or revisions included.
  • Upgrade the same bid within 30 days of delivery, before it is due, and pay only the difference: +$250 to Bid package, +$950 to Revision package.

Good to know

Limits and what to send

  • Packages are based solely on the documents you provide. You send the full package; we do not hunt for drawings or field-verify.
  • Addenda issued after we start may need a revision.
  • You review and own the final submitted bid.
  • Federal RFQs and RFPs on SAM.gov are welcome: send the solicitation number or link, prints, scope, specs, and every amendment.
  • Do not upload restricted drawings (CUI, FOUO, export-controlled, or anything marked for limited distribution). Contact us and we will arrange an approved way to send them.
