Construction takeoffs are essential to the bidding process, providing the foundation for accurate cost estimates. While crucial, this phase is often time-consuming yet plays a decisive role in ensuring project success.
Construction takeoffs help determine the quantity of raw materials and prefabricated products required, ensuring a complete material list and accurate cost assessment. Estimators and builders use advanced digital software to generate precise price estimates and calculate material expenses efficiently.
Many projects require specialized installations. Through the material takeoff process, estimators and builders assess whether to engage a general contractor or specific subcontractors, helping refine the project proposal and ensure accurate planning.
A takeoff represents the total quantity of materials needed for a specific task — that’s it. It does not include material costs or any additional charges covered in an estimate. An estimate, however, builds upon the takeoff by assigning costs to each item and adding other project-related expenses. To streamline this process, many contractors use advanced construction cost estimating software.
