Taking-off dimension sheet
Record repeat factors, dimensions and deductions in a visible sequence. The sheet calculates each line while keeping unlike units separate for professional review.

| 02 | 75 m² | ||||||||
| 03 | 6 m³ |
Totals stay separated by measurement mode because metres, square metres, cubic metres and counts must never be added together. Confirm the governing measurement rules and item description before transferring a quantity into a BOQ.
METHOD / BEFORE MEASURING
Fix the item before the dimensions.
State the measured work, unit, location and specification first. Then record dimensions in a repeatable order and keep drawing references beside the work. A neat calculation cannot repair an ambiguous item description.
Use the deduction control only when the governing method and project convention require the opening or void to be deducted.
