Plumbing Takeoff: Count Fixtures, Pipe, Fittings and Hangers by System
One restroom block taken off start to finish: fixtures by system, pipe by size and material, fittings and hangers by written rules, and the questions that sit between sheets.
Takeoff Guides
Takeoff guides for people who turn drawings into quantities that someone can order, build and bid from. Start with how a takeoff is built, from reading the drawing set to a checked buy list, then move into the trades: electrical devices and conduit, framing lumber, and plumbing fixtures and pipe. Each guide works one illustrative example in the open, prints its inputs, shows the arithmetic line by line and says where the method stops. You will also find a takeoff sheet layout you can copy, rules for waste and stock lengths, and a revision log habit that keeps counts from going stale after an addendum. Written for estimators, subcontractors, builders and owners who want to check a quantity list against their own.
