Flooring Estimating and Takeoff
Room-by-room flooring takeoffs by material, with base, transitions and floor preparation.
Flooring Estimating and Takeoff Overview
Flooring is measured by room and material from the finish plan, then adjusted for the way each product is sold: carpet by the roll, tile by the box, sheet goods by width. We include base, transitions and floor preparation, which are easy to miss and affect both material and labor.
Wall tile and other wall finishes are covered with construction finishes.
