Outline
•Importance of Quantity Takeoff
•Preparation of Quantity Takeoff
•Measurement Units
•Measuring excavation, P.C footings, Beams,
Columns, slabs, and stairs.
•Solved Example
2
Quantity Takeoff
•Quantity takeoff is an activity performed by
General Contractors, Subcontractors, Cost
Consultants, and Quantity Surveyors as part
of the construction process.
3
Quantity Survey at Project Stages
•Concept no quantity survey
•Design Engineering estimate
•Bidding / Tendering
•Pre-bid estimate,
•Preconstruction estimate
•Construction detailed estimate for incoive
4
Quantity Takeoff
•Quantity Takeoff is performed by:
•General Contractors,
•Subcontractors,
•Cost Consultants,
•Quantity Surveyors
5
Quantity Takeoff
•Counting the number of items associated
with a particular construction project
7
Quantity take-off: Why?
•Contractor perspective:
•Pricing different work items.
•Identifying the needed resources (Labor,
Equipment, etc.).
•Project schedule.
•Preparing invoices for work done.
•Subcontractors’ payments.
•Review and control of crews’ production rates.
8
Quantity Takeoff
•The quantity takeoff process is typically done
manually using a printout, a pen, and a
calculator.
9
Quantity Takeoff
•New Trend is Building Information Modeling
(BIM)
•Provide a solution that generates a set of
takeoff elements (counts, measurements,
conditions that affect cost) enables
estimators to more quickly and more
accurately perform takeoff for bidding or
pricing.
10
Quantity Takeoff
•Important to specify the type of ;
•Imported materials
•Suppliers
•Equipment
•Labors
•Work in project
13
Quantity Development Guidelines
14
Quantity Development Guidelines
•Consider items that have no material but still
require cost, e.g., job office overhead, task
setup, training and certifications.

• Precast concrete
27
Measuring Units
Lump sum(L.S.)
•Item is subcontracted when the contractor
does not have enough experience to
construct it or there is an item which has a
small quantities of many work items such as:
•Manholes
•Lifts
•Some electrical and plumbing works
•Weight (Ton):
•Metallic works

•Quantities are calculated based on the
dimensions of the foundation in plans from the
owner perspective.

Earth works
Excavation: Example
• The length of excavation = 5.4 × 2 + (4.4 – 2) × 2 = 15.6 m
• Depth of excavation = 1.8 m
• Width of excavation = width of plain concrete footing = 1.0 m
• Volume = 15.6 × 1.8 × 1.0 = 18.8 m3
47
Earth works
Backfilling
• Unit of measurement is m3 (volume)
48
Earth works
Backfilling: Example
•Consider the previous example, the volume
of backfilling could be calculated as follow:
•Volume of concrete = 15.6 × 1 × 0.4 = 6.24 m3
•Volume of brick = 15.6 × 0.4 × 1.4 = 8.736 m3
•Volume of backfilling = 18.8 – (6.24 + 8.736) =
3.824 m3
49
Earth works
Site leveling
•Top soil cannot be used for backfilling as it
would, over time, cause damage to the
substructure.

Soil transportation
•Transported soil = Vol. of exc. – Vol. of
backfilling + additional soil at site
•Add swelling factor based on the soil type:
•5% sandy soil.
•15% clayey soil and
•25% for demolition material. (owner or
contractor)
54
Concrete works
Plain concrete (PC)
•Measured in m2 (area) if thickness < 20 cm.
•Measured in m3 (volume) if thickness ≥ 20
cm.
