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.
