Are you tired of doing takeoffs yourself? Many people do them after work when they’re trying to organise a building project, enabling the risk of errors due. Nobody can guarantee the accuracy of an XL spreadsheet at 10 o’clock at night.

A schedule of quantities take-off, or simple a “takeoff” or “SOQ”, is the detailed measurement (usually provided to you in Microsoft Excel format) of the unique materials and labour needed to complete a construction and building project. As well as listing material costs, an SOQ describes the individual items of work to make up a complete building, set out in sections either by trade, element or physical location

Takeoffs are essential for all contractors in the pre-construction phase of building, as they outline the scope of work do to. They outline how many square or lineal metres you will need, how much roofing material is required, the number of bricks needed to order & volumes of concrete, and any other quantity that any contractor must get right before starting a job.
