Learn about material takeoff services (MOT): Real Estimating Services – Material takeoff services

Material take-off is a term used in engineering and construction and refers to list of materials with quantities and types. This list is generated by analysis of a blueprint or other design document. The list of required materials for construction is sometimes referred to as the material take-off list (MTOL).

Material take-off is not limited to the amount of required material, but also the weight of the items taken off. This is important to determine the total weight of the item and how best to move when construction is completed. Get to know more about us!

MATERIAL QUANTITIES – Material Takeoff Services

One of the primary purposes of a material takeoff is to provide a detailed list of materials necessary to complete a construction project. Depending on the scale of the project and its complexity, the list of materials can be relatively short or very long. In order to prepare a material takeoff, the estimator or contractor must first determine exactly what materials are required to complete a project. This information will be pulled directly from blueprints, architectural drawings, or project plans. For projects where a subcontractor is preparing a material takeoff, they may refer to their own project notes to determine what materials are required.

First, a simple count may be provided for materials that are prefabricated. These include things like light fixtures, hinges, windows, or doors.

Second, some materials will need to be quantified using length. This is most commonly seen for materials like lumber, steel piping, molding, or ducting.

Third, some materials must be quantified using volume. This is useful for materials that are liquid, such as concrete or asphalt. In order to determine the volume of a required material the person preparing the estimate will need to be familiar with relevant calculations for determining volume.

Lastly, some materials will need to be quantified using the area. The area is used for such things as flooring, roofing, or tile, and is often provided in the form of square feet.

Important Considerations:

The first is weight. Not all material takeoffs provide the weight of materials required for a project.Including weight in a material takeoff is necessary because it helps determine the shipping and transportation costs for the associated materials.

While the weight of specific materials may not be relevant for smaller projects, for large projects where the logistics of getting materials to the job site can result in significant costs the weight of materials is a useful metric to include in a material takeoff.

A second component that nearly all material takeoffs include is detailed product descriptions. These descriptions are important because a material takeoff is used as a reference from which materials are ordered for a project. In order to guarantee that the correct materials for the project are ordered, each material must be described to an adequate degree. For example, if the engineer provides specific requirements for a load-bearing beam, including the size of the lumber and any special treatment it may require, this information would need to be included in a material takeoff. This is not only to ensure that the correct materials are ordered but is also necessary to ensure that the material cost estimate for the project is accurate.

SAY GOODBYE TO HR HASSLE HIRING FULL-TIME ESTIMATORS

Having a full-time estimator is expensive. Outsourcing estimation means the absence of overhead costs such as benefits, computers, and a workspace. Just imagine, no weekly salary to pay in slow periods, no employee benefits, no sick pay, no vacation pay, etc. Can you see the savings adding up already? Outsourcing not only saves your hours of training, but billable hours mean that the hours needed to complete the project. Additionally, looking to logistics, employees have a wide array of rights under laws.  Therefore, this opens a variety of legal claims employees can potentially bring against you for violating those rights.

It is true when you don’t get many orders regularly, but you still need quality take-offs from time to time. If your project requires a part-time engagement then outsourcing is an obvious choice.

It is not cost-effective to keep an estimator on staff. Using our Service for your material take-offs will cost you less than hiring a full-time estimator and bearing related responsibilities.
