If you’re still pricing bids at 11pm, that’s not an estimating problem.

You run a drywall and finishes crew. You’re good at the work. But somewhere along the way, you became the estimating department too. Counting GWB sheets after the crews go home. Rebuilding framing quantities from plans you’ve already looked at twice. Skipping bids on weeks when three jobs land at once because there’s just no time.

Every bid you skip is a job you never had a shot at. And the math adds up fast.

Your takeoff is counting while you sleep.

Alpha Estimation is a Division 09 takeoff desk built specifically for US drywall and interior buildout subs. We don’t do Civil Works or Utilities. We price gypsum assemblies, metal stud framing, ACT, flooring, paint, and finish scope all day, every day.

Send us plans tonight. By the time you pour your first cup of coffee, the takeoff is already in your inbox with marked plans and a short video where we walk through every judgment call.

Why “24 hours” is real, not a marketing number

Our team is in Pakistan (UTC+5) — 9 to 10 hours ahead of your job sites. Plans that hit our inbox at 9pm Eastern are being counted at 7am our time. That’s the timezone working for you, not against you.

Within 2 business hours you get a written scope confirmation: divisions we’re pricing, exclusions, and your exact delivery window. That confirmation starts your clock.
3
Takeoff lands at 7am
Excel by division with waste on every line. Marked plans. A short Loom where we walk through every judgment call. In your inbox before your first call of the day.

Why drywall subs choose us over the other options

01
Division 09 specialists, not generalists
We don’t do roofing takeoffs Tuesday and your gypsum assemblies Wednesday. Division 09 interiors is everything we do. That depth shows up in how we count rated assemblies, read corridor wall types, and flag spec conflicts before they hit your number.
Focused expertise, not a generalist shop
02
24-hour delivery with a penalty clause
Standard Division 09 scope in 24 hours. Complex multi-floor projects in 48 to 72. Miss the committed window? The takeoff is free. Not discounted. Free. That’s in your scope confirmation every time.
Free if late — in writing, every time
03
Your software, not ours
We work in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, or On-Screen Takeoff — whichever is already open on your estimator’s screen. Quantities land in the format you already use, not a format you have to translate.
No new login required
04
No black box — every judgment call is on video
Every takeoff ships with a short Loom walkthrough. Rated assemblies, corridor wall types, ceiling transitions — anything that required a decision gets explained on camera. You see exactly how we counted before you price a single sheet.
Full transparency on every job
05
A named Civil Engineer signs off on every number
Alpha Estimation is not a marketplace or a team of rotating counters. Every takeoff is reviewed by Yasir — a Graduate Civil Engineer with 8 years of Division 09 experience and 200+ Upwork deliveries. The Upwork Top Rated badge is third-party verified and tied to consistent 5-star quality. You always know exactly who counted your job and who stands behind the penalty clause.

Yasir, Founder of Alpha Estimation

The estimator behind every takeoff

I’m Yasir — a Graduate Civil Engineer with 8 years of construction estimation experience. I built Alpha Estimation after spending years on Upwork delivering takeoffs for US drywall subs and learning exactly what they need: fast turnaround, clean quantities, and someone who actually answers when there’s a question.

I’ve delivered 200+ takeoffs, earned the Upwork Top Rated badge through consistent 5-star work, and built this service around the one thing that matters: you submit your number with confidence.

Every takeoff that leaves this desk has my name on it. The penalty clause is personal — I’ve never had to pay it.

Things subs ask before working with us

You’re based offshore. How do I know the quality is there?
Fair question. Every takeoff ships with a Loom video where you can see exactly how we counted every wall type and ceiling system — nothing is hidden in the spreadsheet. We include a written assumptions and exclusions log with every job. If there’s a quantity error on our end, we fix it and credit the takeoff. The first one is free. Send a real bid and judge the work yourself.
What’s your turnaround, really?
24 hours for standard Division 09 scope. 48 to 72 hours for complex multi-floor or multi-building projects. The clock starts when you receive our written scope confirmation, sent within 2 business hours of getting your plans. Miss the committed window? The takeoff is free. That’s in your scope confirmation every time.
Do I have to use your software?
No. We work in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, or On-Screen Takeoff — whichever is already open on your estimator’s screen. If you use something else, ask us and we’ll tell you if we can accommodate it.
What if addenda drop before bid day?
Send them over. Same-day addenda revisions are included at no charge right up to your bid day. It’s part of the service, not a line item.
I already use someone for takeoffs. Why would I switch?
You don’t have to switch. Use our free takeoff as a second opinion on your next bid. Compare the numbers. At worst, you confirm your current setup is solid. At best, you find a gap that changes your bid.
How does payment work?
First three paid jobs are due on receipt via Stripe (card or ACH bank transfer). After that, net-15. Monthly bundles are billed in advance at the start of each month. No setup fees. No contracts. No deposits on the free takeoff.
What size projects do you handle?
We’ve priced retail TI from 4,000 to 30,000 SF, healthcare fit-outs, K-12 interiors, and multifamily common areas. Send us the plans and we’ll tell you upfront if it’s outside our scope. No surprises at delivery.
What if I’m not happy with the takeoff?
Tell us what’s wrong. If it’s a counting error on our end, we fix it and credit you the takeoff. If it’s a judgment call you’d have made differently, we walk through it on a call. We don’t disappear after delivery.
Can I see a sample takeoff before committing?
Your free takeoff is the sample. We run a complete Division 09 takeoff on a real bid you’re actively working — so you see the actual format, level of detail, and Loom walkthrough on your own project. No demo files, no mock-ups. Send a real bid and judge the work on your own numbers.
Do you handle federal or prevailing wage projects?
No. We focus on commercial TI and private-sector interior buildout. Federal, Davis-Bacon, and prevailing wage projects have reporting and compliance requirements outside our scope. If that’s your primary work, we’re not the right fit — and we’d rather tell you upfront than waste your time.

Send us your next bid.
It’s back tomorrow.

First takeoff is free. Up to 50 plan sheets. Live bids only. — 3 slots available this week.
