Outline
 Importance of Quantity Takeoff
 Preparation of Quantity Takeoff
 Measurement Units
 Measuring excavation, P.C footings, Beams, Columns,
slabs, and stairs.
 Solved Example
Quantity Takeoff
 Quantity Takeoff is performed by:
 General Contractors,
 Subcontractors,
 Cost Consultants,
 Quantity Surveyors

 Counting the number of items associated with a particular

construction project

 Determining the associated materials and labor costs

 Preparing an estimate as part of the bidding process.

 Applied to the pricing process.

Quantity Takeoff
 Today the quantity takeoff process is typically done
manually using a printout, a pen, and a calculator.
Quantity Takeoff
 New Trend is Building Information Modeling (BIM)

 Provide a solution that generates a set of takeoff

elements (counts, measurements, conditions that affect
cost) enables estimators to more quickly and more
accurately perform takeoff for bidding or pricing.

Work order
 Items in takeoff sheets are organized in the same
construction sequence.

 Order of items in the same chapter:

 Items estimated in cubic meter (m3)
 Items estimated in square meter (m2)
 Items estimated in linear meter (m)
 Items estimated in numbers (unit)
 Items estimated in weight (ton)
 Items estimated in lump Sum (L.S.)
Measuring Units
Cubic meter (m3)
 Used for items such as:
 Excavation
 Filling
 Concrete
 Masonry

Square meter (m2)

 Used for items such as:
 Masonry
 Plastering
 Flooring
 Painting
Measuring Units
Linear meter (m)
 Used for items such as:
 Oil pipe lines
 Sewage water pipe lines
 Canals

Number (unit)
 Used for items such as:
 Electric outlets
 Doors and windows
 Sanitary fixtures
Measuring Units
Lump sum(L.S.)
 Used for items such as:
 Manholes
 Lifts

 Item is subcontracted when the contractor does not

have enough experience to construct it or there is an
item which has a small quantities of many work items,
such as manholes.
Preparation of Quantity Takeoff
 Check the availability of drawings

 Check the axis and dimensions

 Check building levels and link it to structural drawings.

 Check doors and windows model numbers

 Check ground water levels

Preparation of Quantity Takeoff
 Check architectural against structural drawings

 Check foundation design and foundation levels

 Check construction members dimension and

reinforcement.

 Review the contract conditions and specifications

Plain Concrete Footing
 Quantity of P.C footing = No. of footings for a specific
model * length * width * depth

 Total quantity of P.C footings = summation of P.C footing

models
Ground Beams
 Quantity of ground beam = No. of ground beams for a
specific model * length * width * depth

 Total quantity of ground beams = summation of ground

beam models
Columns
 Quantity of columns = No. of columns for a specific
model * length * width * height

 Total quantity of columns = summation of columns

models
Slabs
 Solid slabs:
 Quantity of slab = length * width * thickness

 Flat slab:
 Quantity of slab = length * width * thickness

 Beams:
 Quantity of beam = length * width * height
Stairs
 Quantity of stairs = inclined length * width * height +
stair section area * stair width * No. of stairs
