A hand takeoff is the traditional, manual approach to lumber estimating. This process involves physically measuring and calculating material quantities directly from printed project blueprints and plans.

Historically, a hand lumber estimate served as a rough assessment of the materials required for a build. Unlike modern digital methods, the manual process calculates the quantity and estimated cost of lumber without the aid of advanced computer software or technology.

Hand Takeoff Process:

• Manual Calculation: Calculating dimensions and quantities by hand.

• Printed Plans: Relying solely on a physical copy of the build plans for measurements.

• Cost Effective: Offers a cost-effective solution for lumber takeoffs with a faster turnaround time.
