Chapter B5 – Performs Quantity Takeoff
The NOA for Carpenter (2013) identifies the required competencies (skills) for the task of performing a quantity take off. These are:
Perform calculations to determine required quantities of materials taking into account application of material, waste and reuse of available material
Use project drawings and/or on-site measurements to determine required quantities of materials (NOA, p. 26).
Note:
Specific procedures for a quantity take-off are included in all other relevant sections.
A detailed treatment of quantity take-off is also covered in PROJ 402 Project Planning (p. 6 – 124).
