Takeoff
A takeoff is the process of deriving material and labor quantities from measurements of the work to be performed.
A takeoff is the process of deriving material and labor quantities from measurements of the work to be performed.
A takeoff converts dimensions into quantities: square feet into squares, a run into linear feet, a floor plan into a unit count.
A unified takeoff engine applies the same measure modes — area, linear, volume, count — across trades, so the estimating process does not have to be rebuilt for every service line.
