A “takeoff” is the process used to calculate the quantity of material that is needed for a project or specific trade. Also known as a “material takeoff” or a “quantity takeoff”.
An “estimate” has more detail than a takeoff. It typically includes items such as material and labour costings, contingencies and builders margins.
An accurate takeoff or estimate will help owner builders eliminate guesswork. It will help control your material costs, labour costs, equipment costs, and project timeline.
It eliminates overpaying for unused materials, or underestimating the quantity of materials causing costly delays and variation claims.
All successfull builders and contractors prepare accurate takeoffs / estimates as part of their project planning. Failing to do so can easily create cost blowouts and cause your project to fail.
