4. Quantity take –off Quantity take-off from 2D paper documents
PDF
AutoCAD
BIM (part of 5D BIM)
Many software options
Quantity take-off options inside the software

5. Programming steps Determine the work activities = WBS
Determine activities duration (Quantities + Rawlinsons)
Determine activities relationships = dependencies & lags
Finish to Start
Start to Start
Start to Finish
Review and analyse the programme
Cost/resource allocation
Resource levelling
Implement the programme
Monitor and control the programme
Revise the database and record feedback

(adapted from Mubarak 2010)

6. WBS / Programme Distinction
Comprehensive classification of project scope
Contains no activity duration
No resource assignments
No dependencies
Programme
Actual work to be done (only the activities on the last level of the WBS)
Contains activity durations
Contains assignment of resources to activities
Contains dependencies

7. Quantity Take-off Construction manager’s point of view
- order of the activities
- right size activities
 how to build the building
vs.
Quantity surveyor’s point of view
- what is the total amount of quantities
 how much does it cost to build the building
Taija Puolitaival, Department of Construction, Unitec 2014

8. determining of work activities things to be considered
Nature of the work/homogeneity
Location/floor
Size/duration
Timing/chronology
Responsibility
Others
= programmer’s mentality in breaking down the project
