Haven’t met a takeoff guy that gets it perfect. I always need something more.

Great Explanation. Thank You so much!

great video!!!

Excellent break down

Thank you!

Thank you Connor, very helpful. Can you do a few videos on cost analysis such as cost analysis for partition wall (Drywall and metal stud framing)? Thank you!

great video thank you, one thing i'm missing is why you're using diagonals for area. I googled it a bit but I don't understand the purpose instead of using length and width

He measured the LxW for the calculation, but drew out the diagonals because that’s usually how area is indicated on floor plans.

great video, but you got to get with Bluebeam takeoffs ; )

Love your video ,please would like to learn to estimate labor

Great suggestion! Estimating labour is a tough one to fit into a short video as there are no simple rules. You are best to track labour efficiency on your own projects with 'labour cards' and build data based on your own employee's efficiency. Look at the writings of David Gerstel from JLC for more info on this.

Do you also take into account the material wastage in your estimations? if so then how much percentage is that?

@ceedee8953

25%

25% is pretty high, unless you want a lot of waste, average is more like 15%.

If you could do this video while you are on program to design each page would be easier to understand.

Hi Charles, thanks for the feedback. This tutorial was developed for in-class take-offs using hard copies of plans. As such, we were teaching this old school. That said, we are using a digital takeoff software this term (called STACK) so perhaps I will share the tutorials I make again.

Great video, Try fixing the audio or talking louder. It's very quiet and sometimes hard to hear
