Select a plan, keep page two closed, and enter your final quantities. Scoring happens in this browser; your answers and score are not sent to Takeoff.
Scoring tolerance: displayed whole SF/LF quantities allow ±0.5, displayed CY quantities allow ±0.02, and counts must match exactly. The score compares your answers with this practice plan; it is not a certification or a measure of bid completeness.

Teach the reasoning, not just the answer.
The free eight-page facilitator guide turns the five practice plans into a repeatable measure, compare, and discuss routine. It includes a five-session sequence, formulas, expected units, practice score bands, and coaching prompts.
- Start with a labeled calibration dimension.
- Keep gross scope, deductions, counts, and conversions visible.
- Score locally without learner accounts, uploads, or stored values.
Practice material only: the guide is not a credential or certification, and the plans are not for construction. Example prices are not current market benchmarks.
