Quantity take-offs (QTO) are a detailed measurement of materials and labor needed to complete a construction project.
This process includes breaking the project down into smaller and more manageable units that are easier to measure or estimate.
Estimators review drawings, specifications and models to find these quantities.
[2] It is known that construction projects often run overtime and over budget and one of the reasons is lack of accuracy in quantity takeoff and estimates.
By leveraging precise quantity data, professionals can streamline project management, maintain budgetary control, and foster collaboration among stakeholders.
