Thank you Connor, very helpful. Can you do a few videos on cost analysis such as cost analysis for partition wall (Drywall and metal stud framing)? Thank you!
great video thank you, one thing i'm missing is why you're using diagonals for area. I googled it a bit but I don't understand the purpose instead of using length and width
Great suggestion! Estimating labour is a tough one to fit into a short video as there are no simple rules. You are best to track labour efficiency on your own projects with 'labour cards' and build data based on your own employee's efficiency. Look at the writings of David Gerstel from JLC for more info on this.
Hi Charles, thanks for the feedback. This tutorial was developed for in-class take-offs using hard copies of plans. As such, we were teaching this old school. That said, we are using a digital takeoff software this term (called STACK) so perhaps I will share the tutorials I make again.

Haven’t met a takeoff guy that gets it perfect. I always need something more.
great video!!!
Great Explanation. Thank You so much!
Excellent break down

Hey Jose - that would be a great video tutorial (cost comparisons). Happy to make a few of these and will post them later this summer
Awesome video
Thank you!
👍👍👍
Thanks!
Subbed thank you
this video needs more likes.
Thanks, Angel.

He measured the LxW for the calculation, but drew out the diagonals because that’s usually how area is indicated on floor plans.
Sad that i just found this series of videos and some look like they have been taken down :(
I was thinking the same thing
Love your video ,please would like to learn to estimate labor

@@connormalloy8383 Thanks for the guidance.
Do you also take into account the material wastage in your estimations? if so then how much percentage is that?
25%
25% is pretty high, unless you want a lot of waste, average is more like 15%.
great video, but you got to get with Bluebeam takeoffs ; )
If you could do this video while you are on program to design each page would be easier to understand.

@@connormalloy8383 I thought it was very easy to understand and also, that you explained it like a great teacher!
Great video, Try fixing the audio or talking louder. It's very quiet and sometimes hard to hear
