materials, labor, and equipment of a proposed
project.
, Take-off: The process in which detailed lists are compiled,
based on drawings and specifications, of all the
material and equipment necessary to construct a
project. The cost estimator uses this list to calculate
how much it will cost to build the project.
Quantities: Measured amounts of construction items expressed
in their customary units.
Quantification: In estimating an activity to translate project scope
information into resource quantities suitable for
costing. In the engineering and construction industry,
a takeoff is a specific type of quantification that is a
measurement and listing of quantities of materials
from drawings.
Quantity survey: A detailed analysis of material and equipment
required to construct a project.
Area: A measurement of a given planar region or of the
surface of a solid.
Area Method: A construction cost estimating system employing unit
square foot costs multiplied by the adjusted gross
floor area of a building.
Length: The longest dimension of an object.
Linear measurement: A unit or system of units for measuring length: 12" = 1',
3' = 1 yard, 1 yard = 0.9144 meters, 1 mile = 5,280 feet.
Dimension: A distance between two points, lines, or planes.
Specifications or specs: Documents that define the qualitative requirements
for products, materials, and workmanship upon which
the contract for construction is based.
