Takeoff Process

A Clear Six-Step Quantity Takeoff Workflow

The exact process can change with each assignment. However, these stages show the typical sequence from drawings to deliverables.

01 Review Project Files

First, we review the available drawings, specifications and scope information.

02 Confirm the Scope

Next, we confirm the trades, measurement needs and required outputs.

03 Measure Quantities

Then, the relevant quantities are measured from the supplied information.

04 Organise the Takeoff

After that, the quantities are grouped by trade, area or package.

05 Review the Quantities

We also review the measured scope against the available project information.

06 Prepare the Deliverables

Finally, the agreed takeoff reports are organised for delivery.

Drawing Review

Check the Project Information Before Measurement

The drawing set defines the takeoff basis. So, we review the available information before measuring the agreed scope.

Drawing Set Review the files supplied for takeoff.
Drawing Issue Use the intended project revision.
Specifications Review relevant project requirements.
Trade Scope Confirm the packages to be measured.
Quantity Review

Review the Takeoff Before Final Delivery

Before delivery, the measured quantities can be reviewed against the agreed scope. This keeps the final report clear for project-team review.

Scope Coverage Check the agreed work packages.
Quantity Structure Review how the quantities are grouped.
Measurement Basis Check the relevant counts, lengths, areas or volumes.
Specification Review Review applicable project requirements.
Scope Notes Record relevant assumptions when needed.
Report Format Confirm the agreed output structure.
Quantity Organisation

Structure the Takeoff Around the Project Scope

Quantity reports can be organised in different ways. For example, the takeoff can follow trades, areas or defined work packages.

By Trade Group quantities by construction discipline.
By Area Organise quantities by project area.
By Package Separate defined work packages.
By Measurement Arrange counts, lengths, areas or volumes.

Commercial Projects Commercial takeoffs can be organised by discipline, material category or agreed work package.
Infrastructure Projects Infrastructure assignments can use defined drawing sets and specifications as the quantity basis.
Larger Project Packages

Organise Larger Takeoffs Into Clear Work Packages

Larger developments can include several disciplines and drawing sets. Therefore, the quantity scope can be separated into defined packages.

Multiple Drawing Sets Organise quantities around relevant project information.
Multiple Trades Separate quantities by agreed discipline or trade.
Material Breakdown Group materials within defined project packages.
Structured Reporting Prepare quantities in the agreed report format.
Outsourced Takeoff Support

Add Quantity Takeoff Capacity When Workloads Increase
