A quantified list of materials required to construct, fabricate or maintain a facility or asset.
A Material Takeoff (MTO) is a structured list of materials, quantities and specifications derived from engineering drawings, models or design data to support estimating, procurement, fabrication and construction activities. MTOs provide the basis for purchasing materials, preparing cost estimates and planning project execution.
Material Takeoffs quantify the materials required to support engineering, procurement and construction activities.
Material Takeoffs may be generated manually or automatically from digital engineering models and are commonly updated as project designs mature.
A Material Takeoff quantifies the materials required for a project, whereas a Bill of Materials defines the components required to manufacture or assemble a specific product or asset.
