Even a slight error could result in the company losing the bid for a project. Each data computed from the project plans in a painstakingly slow manner with a significant chance of human errors. Not too long ago, all these calculations were done manually. Therefore, it is important to meticulously plan in order to provide an accurate, or as nearly possible to it, estimation for the construction bidding process. However, when taken together in a large project, these can add significantly to the cost. The cost estimation is not only limited to the material cost of the project but also includes the labor cost, storage cost, and operational costs. Numbers of joints, light fixtures, studs. The length of pipes, wires, and cables required in a project The data required for estimating the cost include things likeĪrea of landscaping and the volume of material required for it There is a lot of data and meticulous planning involved in the takeoff process. This estimation is then used as the structure for the cost of the project as well as for bidding on projects. Hope this helps to fix a few issues and keep everyone on the QTO path.Takeoff, also known as material takeoff or quantity takeoff, is the process of estimating costs by calculating the quantity of material and other supplies required in construction project management before the project even begins.

Workbook: After editing the WBS value in the Workbook, the Info-Textbox does not refresh to show the new value.Changes made to Catalog Parameters for Timberline items are not saved.When importing catalogs, unable to preview the catalog items before inputting the separator.Space cannot be used as separator to parse Description and extract WBS.Some GAEB catalogs cannot be imported due to duplicate WBS IDs.When upgrading old QTO projects to QTO 2011 version, there is no way to split the WBS from Description.Upgrading old QTO projects to QTO 2011 version takes a very long time to complete.Quick Snapshot of what's fixed in the Hotfix: It looks like the QTO 2011 team has been hard at work to get a Hotfix (update) released prior to the holidays. Wow, can you believe that we are about to start 2011 in a few days? Time just flew by this year.
