Client Testimonials
“Royal Takeoffs crushed our $1.2M fire protection bid for a Dallas high-rise! Their sprinkler system takeoffs were flawless down to the last hanger. We beat out six competitors and landed the job in under 24 hours.”
Marcus L., Dallas, TX
“Their plumbing estimates are a goldmine. For a 200-unit condo project in Miami, they caught $18K in missed CPVC fittings we’d have eaten. Now we outsource every PEX and copper bid to them!”
Rosa V.,Miami, FL
“When our in-house team got swamped, Royal Takeoffs saved us on a hospital retrofit. Their 12-hour rush delivery for medical gas lines? Spot-on. The client called our bid ‘the most detailed they’d seen.’”
Greg P., Chicago, IL
“We’ve won 9/10 bids since switching to Royal Takeoffs. Their chilled water pipe estimates for the LA Tech Campus included union labor rates we didn’t even know applied. Huge cost savings and zero guesswork.”
Anika R., Los Angeles, CA
