Trim and door takeoff for multifamily: door counts, casing and baseboard footage
Trim bids are won or lost on counts and footage. Vorbi reads the door schedule, counts doors by type, measures baseboard runs while leaving out non-scope areas and obstructions, and flags plan-versus-spec conflicts before your number goes out.
Available. This workflow runs in production every day at a commercial trim and cabinetry subcontractor.
What Vorbi measures for trim & doors
- Door counts filtered by door type, straight from the door schedule
- Baseboard and casing linear footage
- Exclusions for non-scope areas (for example bathrooms) and obstructions (cabinets, appliances, door openings)
- Runs under windows included correctly
- Commercial and common areas measured without toilets and elevators
- Bids split by building for multi-building projects

Trim & doors: quick answers
Can Vorbi count doors by type from a door schedule?
Yes. Vorbi reads the door schedule and counts doors filtered by type, so hardware and casing quantities follow the actual schedule rather than a manual tally.
How does baseboard footage handle cabinets and bathrooms?
Baseboard runs leave out non-scope areas such as bathrooms and obstructions such as cabinets, appliances and door openings, and correctly include runs under windows.
Can a multi-building bid be split by building?
Yes. GCs often award multi-building projects building by building, so Vorbi can split the bid and quantities per building.
