The Takeoff Doc tor Instant Estimator 2010.07
About
Overview Welco me to The Takeoff Doc tor (TTD) Instant Estima tor prog ram. I designed this prog ram to help my
clients quickly obtain a "better-than-ballpark" material price for certain phases of common residential
projec ts. While I wa nt all of the takeoff wo rk my c lients c an g ive me, I'll be the first to a dmit that there a re
times tha t a full-blow n takeoff is ove rkill, and an unnec essa ry expe nse fo r my clients. I'd rathe r provide m yc lients with a n ea sy to use, affo rdable to ol to simplify their work life, and save the ir mo ney fo r when the y
really nee d m y top -leve l services. In the long run, this will ma ke my b est c lients mo re profitab le, bene fiting
us bo th.
What it does
The p rogram is me ant to g ive realistic b ud ge t numb ers for the structural and ma in finish ma terials of one to
three story single fam ily residenc es. The g oa l is to g ive my c lients a mo re ac c urate first estima te tha n c an
be ob tained from simp le squa re foo t p ricing, without a muc h larger time investment.
This ab ility to q uickly bud ge t job s c an helps my c lients sep a rate their serious pot entia l clients from the "tire-
kic kers". It ca n also be used to b ring tho se c lients with cha mp ag ne ta stes, bu t beer bud ge ts, bac k to
ea rth. By we ed ing out the po tential time-wa sters, my c lients ca n foc us their atte ntion m ore effec tively on
the jobs most likely to increase their profits.
Included phases are footings, foundation, framing, roofing, windows & doors, boxing & siding, decking,
insulat ion, drywa ll, ba sic inte rior trim, and floo ring . These a re the m ain pha ses sold b y my LBM sa les c lien ts,
and taken o ff, instea d of ha ndled with allow anc es, by my b uilder clients.
What it doesn't
do
The p rogram doe s not c alc ulate a ny labor co sts. My LBM c lients have no nee d fo r this informa tion. Since
my b uilder clients range from p roduc tion bu ilders to ultra-high e nd c ustom bu ilde rs, labo r rates va ry by
mo re tha n 100% on som e item s.
Unlike m any p rogram s out there, TTD Instant Estimat or d oe s NOT have a sep a rate c ostboo k or item
da tab ase. After dea ling with these typ es of p rog ram s all of my c areer, I've finally c ome to rea lize tha t they
ge nerally co nsume muc h mo re time tha n they save . If you up da te the m regularly, you're spe nding a t least
several hours a mo nth on some thing that do esn't make you m oney. If you use o ne a nd DON'T upd ate itmo nthly, it's wo rthless, bec ause yo u STILL ha ve to g et c urren t p ric ing & en ter that into every estima te . In TTD
Instant Estimat or, you c an set up a tem p late fo r the items you use m ost, or multiple t em pla tes (one for stick-
fram ed , one for engineered fram ing, etc.), and enter unit pricing there, for ONLY the items you a ctua lly
need . If you hit a stretc h of time where you're stick fram ing everything, you d on't wa ste time upd ating
pric ing for 400 d ifferent sizes & leng ths of I-joists!
TTD Insta nt Estima to r doe s no t a llow for any site-related expenses, suc h as c lea ring , grad ing, d rivewa ys and
wa lkwa ys, etc., due to the unlimited variation to be found from lot to lot. You c an, how ever, customize the
workbook to inc lude these items, if you ne ed .
The p rogram also d oe s not inc lude a ny provision for the trades, as plumb ing, HVAC, and e lect ric a re
ge nerally supplied by spec ialty sub c ontrac tors, selec tions are no t usua lly ma de until muc h later in the
building proc ess, and spe cific ations tend to va ry wildly from job to job. Ag ain, you ca n c ustomize your
workbook to include these.
For the same reasons trad es are no t include d , pha ses tha t c ustom bu ilders ge nerally hand le with
allowa nc es are no t inc luded in this simple p rogram . These pha ses include c abinet s, coun tertop s, spe c ialty
trim (wa insco ting, c offers, etc .), ap plianc es, hardw are & shelving, a nd landsca ping.
There is no sep a rate line item fo r profit or overhea d. Builders will ge nerally ad d these figures to their total
c ost. Since th is prog ram o nly p ric es part of the job , marking it up he re co uld ea sily result in a d oub le
ma rkup b eing a pp lied later. Lumb eryards and other vend ors alrea dy ha ve their profit built into their item
pricing tha t they w ill enter into the p rogram . The G rand Tota l they will see is the c ost to their c lient,
including profit.

If you a lrea dy have an estima ting or ac c ount ing p rogram , TTD Instant Estimat or is an idea l way to do a
quick and ac curate takeoff of the m ost time-c onsuming items to c alculate. If you are looking for an
afforda ble e stima ting/ ac co unting program , I highly rec omm end Bid4Build. It ca n b e used along with TTD
Instant Estimat or to grea tly simplify the b idd ing/ ac c ount ing p roce ss. The Bid4Build we bsite is:
Bid4Build
How it works
You enter som e b asic squa re fo ot, linea r foot, co unt, and spe cifica tion information, along w ith the related
item pricing. All qua ntity ca lc ulations are ha ndled in the b ac kground , using tried and proven formulas
c reate d b y myself and othe r ind ustry professiona ls. The result is an item ta keoff a nd tota l mate ria l cost forthe c ove red p hases of the job. Ind ividua l qua ntities/ lengt hs of structural me mb ers (joists, ra fters, etc .) are
not p art of the ou tput of this prog ram. To a llow fo r speed a nd simplicity of takeo ff, these item s are g iven
as a LF tota l. Onc e yo u a re fa r enough along in the sales proc ess to ne ed exac t individua l
quantities/lengths, please contact me to discuss your takeoff needs.
The Tabs The follow ing sec tions give a b rief overview o f what c an b e found o n eac h tab of the program . More
de tailed instructions ca n be found o n ea ch ta b, as need ed . If you have a que stion tha t is not a nswe red
here, don't hesitate to c all or em ail me for help.
Spec s Tab Here you e nter ba sic c oun ts from your plans, suc h as numb er of wind ow s, outside c orners, and linea r fee t
of interior walls. Also, the basic structure of the p roject c an b e set he re, including fo und a tion type , roofing
ma terial, and pe rce ntag es of the different type s of siding a nd flooring.
Measurements
Tab This is whe re the p rogram c ollects your ba sic squa re foot a nd linea r foo t me asurem ents for different pa rts
of the house, like hea ted and ga rage spa ce . There are a lot of bo xes here, but m ost are auto ma tic to tals.
Your input is only required in the light b lue c ells, and the rest w ill insta ntly ad just a s nee de d.
Pric ing Tab Enter your item p ric ing for the basic items listed . There is also a note s c olumn t o b ette r explain wha t is
priced. Ad d ing a no te to the "Lap Siding", for examp le, will c larify whether you priced 4" or 7" expo sure
fiber cement siding, for future reference.
Pric ing ca n be c ha nge d a t any time. This a llow s you to "ba llpark" op tions, just by c hang ing a few numb ers.
If an item is not included , or not supp lied by you, simply cha nge that item price to $0. I have include d
sam ple c osts, bu t these should b e used as a g uide line for inputting your own p ric es. The a c c urac y of theGrand Tota l is direc tly tied to the ac curac y of the ma terial pricing yo u ente r here.
Assum ptions Tab There is a list on this tab of the ma jor assump tions of the p rogram . To keep this p rogram sma ll, simple, a nd
user-friendly, certain aspects of the building must be assumed to meet a certain standard, and building
op tions must be limited .
Tec hnica l Info Unlike m ost Excel-ba sed prog rams (UDA, Estima torPro, etc .) you a re allowe d to ma ke ANY cha nges Excel
will let yo u ma ke. As an ad vanc ed Excel user, I know the frustration o f not be ing a ble to ma ke the
cha nge s you need to a n off-the-shelf prog ram , bec ause it has be en "dum be d-d own" to "protec t" you.
There is none o f that w ith my prog ram. It's your respo nsibility to not m ake a ny change s tha t you d on't fully
unde rstand , and to ALWAYS keep a c lean b ac kup of your work.
If you find you really need a func tion tha t the prog ram do esn't provide, and you do n't know ho w to a dd it,
co ntac t me. It ma y be som ething I c an a dd to a future version of the p rog ram , or crea te for your
co mp any by ma king c hang es for a flat hourly rate .
Also, unlike most other estima ting p rogram s, there is NO LIMIT to the number of insta lla tions ava ilab le to
buyers. As long a s you p a id for the p rogram , use it on 1 c om pu ter or 100. It doe sn't ma tter to m e. In fac t,
the mo re p eop le you make a wa re of my service s, the better!
You c an save this file with your own p ric ing and item de sc rip tions, to avo id re-entering the same info fo r
eve ry job. To d o this, sav e with a d ifferent file na me , then m ake your c hanges. I highly reco mm end saving
a ll files with a da te a t the end of t he file name , in this format: YY.MM.DD (This will ensure the NEWEST file is
the LAST in the list, whe n sorted a lpha bet ica lly.)

Instructions
Overview To e nsure best results, follow the steps below to c reate a new estimat e.
1 Save this workbook w ith a different na me . I use the Job Name , follow ed by the da te in this format:
YYYY.MM.DD. This insures my ne we st ve rsion of an e stima te is a lwa ys the last file listed , when sortedalpha be tica lly. IF you a lrea dy ha ve p ric ing you know you c an trust, I'd rec om me nd ente ring t ha t FIRST,
then saving the w orkbo ok to a different na me to use a s your template .
2 Go to the Mea sureme nts tab . Unprotec t the sheet (Too ls->Protec tion->Unprotec t Shee t ). Just c lick Ente r,
there is no Passwo rd. This p roce ss app lies to a ll shee ts. Enter the Job Nam e w here ind ica ted a t the top of
the sheet. This will updat e the Job Nam e o n a ll othe r shee ts. (Note: You c an unp rotec t a ll shee ts, then save
the o rigina l workboo k to use for your tem p late. I only rec om me nd this for very advanc ed Excel users, to
avoid accidently erasing formulas.)
3
Enter the SF and LF me asurem ents need ed in eac h of t he light b lue c ells on t he M ea surements shee t. All of
the w hite c ells co ntain formulas, and will ca lculate a utoma tically whe n you e nter info in the b lue ce lls.
4Go to the Spe cs tab , and e nter the info requested there. You m ay o r may not ha ve to unp rotec t this sheet,
de pe nding o n which info you d ec ide to c hang e. For examp le, a de fault estima te o f the LF of 1st Floor
Interior Walls is c a lculate d ba sed on t he SF of the 1st Floor. If you d on't w ant to take the time to me asure
the w a lls, or are w orking o ff of a sketc h without d imensions, you m ay wa nt to stick with the d efa ult value.
For a mo re a cc urate estimate, you wo uld wa nt to c hange the value in c olumn B to a n ac tual
mea sureme nt. Whenever you c hang e o ne o f these fo rmulas, the numb er in the Value c olumn w ill turn red .
This lets you know you ha ve o verridd en the formula fo r that c ell.
5 Any c ell on the Spe c s sheet tha t d oesn't req uire a numb er entry will have a drop do wn b ox with all of the
valid selections you c an ma ke for that item.
6 Go to the Takeoff tab . You c an change any values in the Notes or Cost co lumns (ligh t blue c ells) without
unp rotec ting the shee ts. If you w an t to c hange a ny othe r info, or insert lines for ad ditiona l item s, you willneed to unprotect.
7
To a dd a line to the Takeo ff shee t, do n't use Exce l's Insert Line fea ture. Cop y an existing line, preferab ly one
with the sam e formula/ quantity as your new item , and insert it within the existing tab le.
8 (Important) This is very imp ortan t, and one of the mo st c om mo n m istakes I see . You have to insert the c op ied row
som ew here BELOW the first item row, a nd ABOVE the last item row. In othe r wo rds, within the existing ta b le.
If you insert a nything b efo re the first line, o r after the last line, it will ap pe ar to wo rk, but will NOT be
ca lculated in the Tota l Cost.
9 Onc e you have ma de all the cha nge s to your Takeo ff sheet, you c an send it out to your supp liers to p rice.
I wo uld filter or hide row s so tha t ea c h supplier only ge ts a list of item s you expec t them to p ric e. You c an
either set the Print Area not to include the Cost a nd Tota l columns, or cha nge the fonts to ma tch theba ckground (white-on-white or blue-on-blue) so they c an't b e seen.
