Acoustic lagging quantity survey.
Acoustic lagging takeoffs for specialist lagging contractors: linear metres by pipe size, broken down by floor and by apartment type. High-rise residential is our specialty. Stop spending days counting off plans.
As far as we know, SNZ is one of the only firms in Australia publicly offering this service to acoustic lagging contractors as a standalone takeoff.
Days of counting. Done in hours.
Acoustic lagging contractors working on high-rise residential projects face a genuinely difficult estimating challenge. Every apartment is different, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, luxury penthouse, each with a different pipe layout, and every pipe size carries a different rate.
Most acoustic lagging companies do this themselves. It takes too long, it is prone to counting errors, and it pulls the business owner or a key estimator away from their core work for days at a time.
If you are spending days counting pipes off plans before you can price a job, there is a faster way. Send us the drawings and we do the counting.
Send us the hydraulic plans. We count every pipe, every fitting, floor by floor, apartment type by apartment type. You apply your rates and price the job in minutes.

Why lagging contractors choose SNZ.
Acoustic lagging takeoffs for high-rise residential are genuinely complex. Every floor is different, every apartment type is different, and every pipe size has a different rate. Getting the quantities wrong means getting the price wrong.
Most acoustic lagging contractors do this work themselves. It takes days, it pulls key people off productive work, and the manual counting process is prone to errors that only surface when the job is half built.
Proven high-rise methodology.
High-rise residential is our specialty. The same takeoff method we use on 30-storey towers, applied to your lagging scope.
Every pipe size separately.
Each size counted and totalled on its own line, because each carries a different rate.
Floor by floor, apartment by apartment.
Nothing averaged across the building. Every level and every apartment type broken out.
Turnaround confirmed before we start.
Every takeoff turnaround is confirmed before work begins. Send us your drawings and we will tell you how long it will take and what it will cost. No surprises.

Common questions.
What do I receive from an acoustic lagging takeoff?
A complete quantity schedule: linear metres by pipe size, broken down floor by floor and by apartment type, with fittings counted and riser shafts and common areas scoped separately. It is formatted so you apply your rates directly.
Do I need to be an SNZ estimating client?
No. This is a standalone takeoff service for specialist acoustic lagging contractors. Send us the hydraulic plans and we do the counting.
Why is high-rise lagging so hard to count?
Every apartment type is different, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, penthouse, each with a different pipe layout, and every pipe size carries a different rate. Averaging across the building gets the price wrong.
How fast is a lagging takeoff?
We come back same day with a fee and a turnaround time, confirmed before work begins. The schedule is formatted so you can price the job the same day you receive it.
Do you count fittings as well as linear metres?
Yes. Fittings are counted alongside the linear metres, and riser shafts and common areas are scoped separately from the apartments.
