Window takeoff
Window takeoff
You counted the openings. Then a revision landed.
Counting the windows on a bid set is a day of somebody’s life, done with a highlighter and a tally. It is also perishable: one revision cloud over one elevation and the number you quoted is no longer the number in the drawings. Nobody recounts the whole set to find out by how much, so the estimate goes out carrying a figure that used to be right.
- Drawings, not textA PDF of a drawing set is not a document to be parsed. Openings are counted off drawn geometry and the CAD layers underneath, which is why a scanned sheet and a vector sheet are not the same problem.
- Cross-checkedFloor plans against elevations against the door and window schedules. Three sources that should agree, compared rather than trusted.
- It says when it is unsureA count held and no figure given, rather than a number nobody should rely on. A failing check is named on the set it belongs to.
- Your worksheetEvery set comes back as a spreadsheet in the estimator’s own layout, with the breakdowns they already use — not a format somebody has to translate.
- Uncertain lines are boxesAnything the read is not sure of arrives unticked, to be confirmed or dropped by a person. It is never folded silently into the total.
No count is firm until two independent methods agree. That is the whole discipline: the plans counted one way, the elevations and schedule counted another, and a figure released only when they match. Where they do not, the disagreement is the finding — which is more useful than a confident number that happens to be wrong.
