Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs)

What are take offs from construction plans?

A “takeoff” is the process of determining how much of each material is needed to complete a job. It is also sometimes called a quantity takeoff or material takeoff and sometimes you’ll see it hyphenated as “take-off”.

How do you calculate labor cost for construction?

Usually, you can find that number by dividing the indirect costs by the direct costs and multiplying that number by 100%. To satisfy our fellow numbers nerds, here’s the formula for calculating labor burden: Indirect Costs / Direct Costs x 100% = Labor Burden.

What do estimators do in construction?

Construction cost estimators prepare estimates for building, road, and other construction projects. They may calculate the total cost of constructing a bridge or commercial shopping center, or they may calculate the cost of just one part, such as the foundation.

What is the difference between doing a quantity takeoff and doing a full detailed estimate?

A quantity takeoff involves finding the quantity of items needed to complete the project, while a detailed estimate requires a complete set of drawings and estimates the entirety of the project.

What is the objective of a quantity takeoff?

Quantity take-offs (QTO) are a detailed measurement of materials and labor needed to complete a construction project. They are developed by an estimator during the pre-construction phase. This process includes breaking the project down into smaller and more manageable units that are easier to measure or estimate.

Difference between a takeoff and an estimate

The difference between a takeoff and an estimate is something else that can be confusing to those new to the construction industry. The concept is pretty simple once you know it but it can still trip some people up. A takeoff is simply determining the amount of all the materials needed for a job. That’s it! Takeoffs don’t have any material costs associated with them and don’t include extra costs that an estimate does.

In contrast, an estimate takes the takeoff a few steps further. Estimates apply costs to all the materials determined by the takeoff and adds in other costs the contractor will face. These extra costs include things like travel costs, tax, applying a waste factor, labor costs, and any other extra costs you’ll face.

Construction Takeoffs Used For

Now that you know what a takeoff is, let’s talk about what they are used for. Construction takeoffs are done for many reasons including, to submit a bid for a job, to create an estimate for a job, or to simply determine how much of each material to buy. Let’s take a quick look at each of these scenarios

Submitting a bid

When you bid on a job, it’s important to know how much of each material you’ll need so you can determine the material costs in your bid. Without this valuable info, you could under bid the job and lose money or overbid and miss out on the job. Either one of these is a poor outcome. Performing an accurate takeoff is an incredibly important factor in whether you win your bid.
Creating an estimate

Part of creating an estimate is knowing how much material you’ll need. You could just give it your best guess or perform a takeoff and get a lot more accurate information. Once you know how much material you need, you can price everything, add in your labor hours, tax, waste percentage, and other costs to complete your estimate.
Figuring out how much material to buy

Even if you aren’t submitting a bid or developing an in-depth estimate, you’ll still need to know how much material to buy. Under-buying is no fun because it causes jobsite delays and extra trips to buy more materials. Over-buying is even worse because it cuts into your profit (and that’s something no one likes)!

As you can see, there are many reasons why you might want to do a takeoff in construction. In fact, if you’re working off of blueprints, there’s really no reason why you wouldn’t need to perform a takeoff. Without one, you’re sure to either buy too much or too little material.

How to read construction blueprints?

A blueprint is a two-dimensional set of drawings that provides a detailed visual representation of how an architect wants a building to look. Blueprints typically specify a building’s dimensions, construction materials, and the exact placement of all its components.

Steel Warehouse Construction

Steel structures are always lighter than other types of buildings while maintaining the same strength. In addition, large long-distance warehouses and steel structures are only suitable for long-distance buildings such as factories, stadiums, etc.
In addition, the need for warehouses is also increasingly urgent.
