Construction quantity takeoff
Yellow cells are inputs. Dimensions use feet; volume rows convert cubic feet to cubic yards. Results recalculate in this tab and are never uploaded or stored.
| # | Plan ref | Location | Scope description | Formula | Count / multiplier | Length FT | Width FT | Height / depth FT | Waste % | Measured qty | Order qty | Assumptions | Action |
|---|
Formula map: Count = count. Length = count × length. Area = count × length × width. Volume = count × length × width × height/depth ÷ 27. Waste is applied after measurement and totals stay separated by unit.
Waste-adjusted totals by unit
- Count
- 6 EA
- Length
- 200 LF
- Area
- 2,400 SF
- Volume
- 47.5555 CY
Units are never added together. Supplier packaging, stock lengths, yields, pricing, labor, equipment, taxes, and commercial terms belong in a reviewed estimate after the measured scope is checked.
CSV and print files are created locally by this browser. Review plan references, revisions, formulas, units, and assumptions before sharing.
Planning aid only. This sheet does not read plans, detect scope, correct perspective or drawing errors, select assemblies, specify products, establish code compliance, or verify field conditions. Confirm current drawings, scale, dimensions, inclusions, exclusions, material factors, and procurement requirements before bidding or building.
Worked concrete example
Four rows. Four different quantity types.
The default rows use the Riverside service-yard practice plan to show count, length, area, and volume formulas in one sheet. They are a starting example, not a complete concrete estimate.
- Slab area
- 2,400 SF
- Slab volume
- 44.44 CY
- Edge forms
- 200 LF
- Concrete factor
- 7%
- Housekeeping pads
- 6 EA
- Quantity types
- 4
The 60-by-40-foot slab at 0.5-foot depth produces 44.4444 CY before the example 7% material factor and 47.5555 CY after it. The free two-sheet practice plan includes all seven concrete answers.
A reviewable takeoff trail
Measure once. Leave the reasoning beside the number.
- 01Confirm the source
Record sheet, revision, scale, and location before measuring.
- 02Choose the dimension
Use count, length, area, or volume without mixing unlike units.
- 03Show the formula
Keep count and every dimension visible instead of pasting only the answer.
- 04Separate material factors
Apply waste after the measured quantity and label the assumption.
- 05Review the handoff
Check scope, exclusions, packaging, pricing, and field conditions before bid use.
Before the number leaves your desk
Six checks to make before anyone prices the quantity.
Right scale?
Use a stated dimension and confirm X/Y behavior when source geometry may be distorted.
Scope classified?
Separate included, excluded, alternate, allowance, and uncertain work.
Openings handled?
Show gross measure, explicit deductions, and net quantity instead of hiding the subtraction.
Factor explained?
Waste, laps, cuts, compaction, yield, and stock rounding are not interchangeable.
Field check assigned?
Mark the dimensions, conditions, and products that still require verification.
When the free sheet stops being enough
Measure the plan, price the scope, and keep the reasoning connected.
The free sheet is useful when dimensions are already known and the quantity list is small. Takeoff Field Tools is for the full Windows workflow: calibrate a PDF or image, measure geometry, review quantities against the source, carry them into visible estimating logic, communicate the scope, and preserve reviewed work for later projects.

Construction takeoff template questions
Is this construction takeoff template really free?
Yes. The browser quantity sheet is free, requires no account or email, and can export CSV or print a review copy.
Does the quantity sheet read or measure a PDF plan?
No. You enter dimensions and counts you have already established from the current drawings or field information. Takeoff Field Tools is the separate Windows product for calibrated plan measurement; you can also compare current free plan-measurement options with Takeoff's one-time license.
Which quantity types does the template calculate?
It keeps count, linear feet, square feet, and cubic yards separate. Volume rows convert cubic feet to cubic yards.
Are my project values uploaded or saved?
No. Worksheet calculations happen in the current browser tab. Export CSV or print before closing or reloading if you want to keep the work.
Does the sheet keep measured quantity separate from waste?
Yes. Each row shows the measured quantity, waste percentage, and waste-adjusted order quantity separately.
Can this template produce a complete construction estimate?
No. It organizes quantities but does not select scope, assemblies, products, labor, equipment, supplier packaging, unit costs, taxes, or commercial terms.
When should I use Takeoff Field Tools instead of the free sheet?
Use Takeoff Field Tools when you need calibrated plan geometry, source-linked quantities, connected estimate logic, clear scope communication, local project files, and reviewed estimating knowledge that can improve later projects.
