Frequently asked questions.
What does the takeoff include?
A material list for the agreed scope, quantities supported by the drawings, calculation bases, source references, and a report of outstanding questions. The sample focuses on residential work before drywall.
Are material prices included?
The sample estimate is unpriced. Use the material workbook to request quotes from your supplier. Product selection, packaging, delivery increments, taxes, and final order quantities need separate confirmation.
What happens when drawings are unclear?
The affected quantity stays open with its drawing references and the clarification needed. For example, the Maple Street footing width differs between the foundation plan and section detail.
Can I use my own supplier?
Yes. The proposed project model is independent of a materials purchase. Export the takeoff and work with the supplier that fits your project.
Do I need to review the quantities?
Yes. Check quantities, specifications, waste, and unresolved questions before ordering. The workspace keeps the drawing source and calculation basis available for that review.
