Assume that the studs will be needed for both sides - if
not specified
Number =
Number = 5 studs

If the wall has openings

- First: assume the wall doesn’t have any openings and
count the number of studs
- Then: Double the studs only where the openings are

Number = + 1 = 4.33 = 5

Using conventional rules of rounding, one would round

down to 4, leaving the estimate 1 stud short of the
needed number of studs

Rounding this up, one should get 5 studs, the number of

studs needed to complete this wall

1) Joint type: spaced joint

Three rows of blocks are needed

Using Eq. 13 to get the number of column, we get the following

7 - Quantity Takeoff Page 10

Three columns of blocks are needed
Using equation 14, we calculate the number of blocks needed as
follows:

=
= 3 rows x 3 columns = 9 blocks

Using Eq 16, we add the waste:

 1) Quantity of Materials
Total Surface area:

Number of columns placed simultaneously:

SFCA of columns built:

Columns to be erected and removed = 5800 SFCA

Average values from table 2 will be used for quantities

Plywood
Lumber 165 bf per 100 SFCA

Carpenter Helper
Make the form 3.5 hr 1.5 hr
Erect and remove the form 6.5 hr 5 hr

From table 2, the quantity will be:

Plywood:

Number of sheets:

Lumber:

** Assume 10 clamps per column

** clamps are REUSABLE

Form Oil:

Nails:
First use: 15lb per 1000 bf = 36 lb
2nd, 3rd, and 4th use: 10lb per 1000 bf = 72 lb
Total (nails) = 108 lb
2) Labour Hours:
Making Forms:
Carpenter:

Erecting and removing forms:

Carpenter:

Helper:
5800 SFCA x (5hr/100SFCA) = 290 hr
Foreman time based on carpenter time:

1) Quantity of Materials
Forms to be erected and removed:

** 1/3 of this will be built

Forms to be built =
From labour hours table (1)
** use median values for quantities of material
For 12 ft wall height
Plywood = 105
Lumber = 225
Ties:
Labour Hours:

2) Lumber:

3) Ties

Oil
1Gallon of oil --> 300 to 500 SFCA (use avg 400SFCA)
1Gallon of oil = 400 SFCA
- for wall, columns, or slabs
Form oil =

Nails
For walls and columns:
First: use 10 lb per 1000 bf to 20 lb per 1000 bf
(average: 15lb per 1000 bf)
Second and more: use 5 to 10 lb per 1000 bf
(for accuracy, you can use the average, but 10 lb wont
cost much more and there will be waste)
Slab:
First: 5lb to 10lb per 1000 bf
Nails for first use:
Nails for 2 reuses:
