Commercial Flooring Takeoff Samples & Takeoff Reports
See examples of the commercial flooring material takeoffs, seam diagrams, material keycodes and shop-drawing layouts prepared by Commercial Flooring Estimating LLC.
CFE has specialized in commercial flooring estimating since 2008 and has completed thousands of projects involving a wide range of flooring materials, building types and installation conditions.
The examples below demonstrate how we convert construction documents into organized flooring material information.
What a CFE Commercial Flooring Takeoff Can Include
Depending on project requirements, a completed takeoff package may include:
- Material descriptions
- Flooring finish codes
- Net installation quantities
- Gross material quantities
- Material waste information
- Floor-by-floor quantities
- Combined project totals
- Wall base and transitions
- Stair quantities
- Seaming quantities
- Heat-welding quantities
- Integral-cove quantities
- Color-coded layouts
- Seam diagrams
- Shop drawings
- Qualifications
- Exclusions
- Project specific notes and more...
Why We Show Net and Gross Quantities
The measured flooring area is not necessarily the quantity of material that must be ordered.
Net quantities identify the actual installation area.
Gross quantities reflect the material estimated to be required after considering relevant product and installation conditions such as material dimensions, seams, cuts, pattern repeats, direction and layout.
Showing both quantities gives flooring contractors more useful information than a single square-foot total.
Seam Diagrams and Shop Drawings
For applicable materials, CFE can provide seam diagrams showing proposed material layouts.
These drawings can assist with:
- Material planning
- Project coordination
- Installer reference
- Submittal preparation
- Review of complex layouts
- Pattern and seam visualization
Large-format PDF drawings can also be provided for plotter printing when required.
Please note our attention to details in materials and installation layouts on the sample takeoffs below:
- Full product descriptions - avoid confusion on styles or colors
- Full installation methods listed - so installers know the proper method
- Specific grid line/tile start points match throughout - keeping uniformity and installer perspective
- Linear & grain patterns are followed - no random product toss, follow product specs
- We are consistent and diligent - very important.

Every Commercial Flooring Project Is Different
Each project poses it's own unique characteristics and details, even if the same architect and the same layout is used. There are many factors to consider when estimating commercial flooring and we do just that.
If you have a colored plotter, you may download the Callidus Viewer and print full scale colored plans, for presentation or installation purposes. Or you may request the files in larger sized PDF formats, such as Architectural sizes C, D, E, to be printed at your nearest reprographics store.
