The Takeoff
Real NYC material pricing, by trade, updated as the market moves. What things actually cost right now — not a national average.Price a job against what things actually cost here — real NYC material costs, tracked by trade — so your number holds up on bid day, not just on a spreadsheet built off a nationwide average.
This desk just opened. The Takeoff is being built from real NYC market data — published price lists, public commodity feeds, and real quotes — with every line held to a minimum sample size before it goes live. No number runs here until it's backed by enough real observations to mean something. First price lines are on the way.
What's coming
By trade, not by categoryPriced the way an estimator actually buys — steel, concrete, MEP rough-in, finishes — not a generic materials basket.
NYC market, not nationalEvery line reflects what's actually moving in the five boroughs, not a national commodity average that doesn't hold up here.
Free teaser boardA handful of headline price lines, open to everyone — sample size and as-of date shown on every number.
Sources stay confidentialAggregate numbers are public; where they came from never is. No vendor, sub, or supplier is ever named.
