In engineering and construction, material take-off refers to a list detailing the quantities and types of materials needed. This list is generated by analyzing a blueprint or other design documents and is often called the material take-off list (MTOL).

Material take-off includes not only the quantity of required materials but also their weight. Determining the total weight of the items is crucial for deciding the best way to move them once construction is completed. Get to know more about us! Takeoff

MATERIAL QUANTITIES – Material Takeoff Service

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. To prepare a material takeoff, the estimator or contractor first identifies the exact materials needed to complete a project. They gather this information directly from blueprints, architectural drawings, or project plans. When a subcontractor is responsible for preparing a material takeoff, they may refer to their project notes to determine the required materials.

First, provide a simple count for prefabricated materials. These include things like light fixtures, hinges, windows, or doors.

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

Third, some materials must be quantified using volume. This is useful for liquid materials, such as concrete or asphalt. 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. Use area measurements for materials like flooring, roofing, or tile, often provided in 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 crucial component of nearly all material takeoffs is detailed product descriptions. These descriptions serve as a reference for ordering materials for a project, ensuring that the correct materials are selected. For instance, if the engineer specifies requirements for a load-bearing beam, such as the size of the lumber and any special treatments, the material takeoff must include this information. Accurate descriptions not only guarantee the correct materials are ordered but also ensure the material cost estimate for the project is precise.

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.
