Quantity
Takeoffs Services for Contractors
Quantity takeoffs (QTOs) are the detailed measurements of materials required for a construction project. A takeoff includes specific quantities—such as cubic yards of concrete, linear feet of lumber, tons of steel, and square feet of drywall—that contractors need to estimate costs, place orders, and manage resources efficiently.
