WHY IS RESIDENTIAL BUILDING ESTIMATION IMPORTANT?
As most construction projects go over time and over budget, having a residential material takeoff that quantifies all the materials needed to complete building, structure, or project is crucial. Having a detailed requirement of the raw materials including lumber, concrete, shingles, floor tiles, to prefabricated materials such as bricks, plumbing pipes, light fixtures, and lengths of electrical cable can save you thousands, sometimes millions of dollars. In addition to the measuring the material quantity, the type of material is also included in the house construction estimate.
