a.Material quantities from the drawings to price the job
b.Labor only
c.Permit fees only
d.Inspection dates
Explicación
A takeoff is the systematic counting and measuring of materials from the drawings, here pipe lengths and fitting counts, so unit prices can be applied to build the material estimate. Labor hours and overhead are added separately. An accurate takeoff is the foundation of a profitable, competitive bid.
