Many building material suppliers rely on automated software that calculates square footage. That approach leaves dangerous gaps in your inventory.

When you submit your plans to ICF Utah, they are reviewed by our General Manager, Dan McCullough. With nearly 40 years of construction experience and over 250 custom residential homes built, Dan reviews your plans through the lens of a Master Builder.

We look for structural optimization opportunities, identify potential stacking challenges, and ensure your material list complies with the specific seismic and thermal realities of building across the Wasatch Front.

What Is Included in Our Professional Takeoff?

A true ICF estimate goes far beyond just counting straight blocks. Our comprehensive takeoffs provide everything you need from the footer to the roofline, including:

• Precise Element ICF Block Counts: Exact calculations for straight blocks, 90-degree and 45-degree corners, taper top blocks, and brick ledge forms using the industry-leading Element ICF (formerly Logix) system.
• Integrated Floor Systems: Seamless estimating for Fortruss Floor Systems if your plans include suspended concrete slabs, cold storage rooms, or garage floors.
• Essential Accessories: Accurate counts for specialized ICF components like alignment system bracing, window and door bucking materials, and Fastfoot® footing membranes.
• Ancillary Materials: We factor in the often-overlooked necessities, including rebar requirements, waterproofing systems (like Resisto), and specialized fasteners.
