A Houston quantity handover for civil and building buyers
For a Houston purchase or subcontract enquiry, identify the building-service handover and the site boundaries your team intends to price. Send the civil and building sheets together when their quantities meet at a connection. F&K can organize the takeoff into supplier-ready packages while keeping units and net-versus-ordering quantities distinguishable. Tell us whether a material is supplied by another contractor or already included in an equipment quotation. Those instructions help the buyer avoid duplicate orders without assuming that a city permitting reference defines the actual installation extent.
Quantities your team can apply rates to
Agree the units, drawing issue and output layout before measurement. Keep net quantities, ordering allowances and unresolved details distinguishable; supplier prices and installed costs are a separate request if your team needs pricing added.
To define your quote: Which trades and units do you need, and should the workbook include rates or measured quantities only?
Building and civil scope handover
Mark where the building package ends and site or off-site work begins. Use the latest civil issue to identify interfaces, then assign each item to one contractor package. Keep an omitted or unissued civil detail visible instead of absorbing it into a building-area rate. For this Houston, TX quantity takeoff request: Send the address and jurisdiction, civil drawings, building set and any infrastructure comments affecting the bid. Identify where the building-services scope ends and site utilities begin.
