Takeoff Studio downloads
A free NRM2 bill of quantities template for Excel, the assembly recipes that come with Takeoff Studio, and a sample project to open and explore.
A blank bill in NRM2 work-section order - Bill, Collection and Summary sheets - laid out like the bill Takeoff Studio Pro writes. Amounts, section totals, the Collection and the Summary are live formulas, so it recalculates as you type quantities and rates. Type preliminaries, overheads and profit, and contingency on the Summary.
The four assemblies that come with Takeoff Studio - stud partition, concrete slab, block wall and skirting - saved as measuring tools, exported by the app itself. Import them to start your own team library: change the formulas, waste and rates, and share them across PCs. The recipes are listed in full below.
The same four recipes, one row per item: assembly, variables, item, unit, formula, waste and round up - to read, print or adapt in Excel.
A Takeoff Studio project package with its drawings: a six-sheet fire station standard design with the pages named from the drawing register, the ground floor plan calibrated, the rooms traced with One-click area and given finishes, and a stud partition with its assembly. Open it to see the Rooms tab, the schedule and the NRM2 bill on a real drawing set.
Each item is worked out for one unit of the measurement, then waste is added and, if ticked, it's rounded up. Times multiplies the results. Formulas can use Qty, Length, Area, Perimeter, Count, Height, Depth, Volume and the variables. How assemblies work.
Variables: Height = 2.4, Spacing = 0.6, SheetWidth = 1.2, SheetHeight = 2.4, Sides = 2
| Item | Unit | Formula | Waste | Round up |

| Drywall screws (approx. 30 per m2 per side) | nr | Length * Height * Sides * 30 | 10% | Yes |
| Joint tape | m | Length * Height * Sides * 1.6 | 10% | |
| Labour | hr | Length * Height * 0.45 | 0% |
Variables: Thickness = 0.15, MeshLap = 0.1
| Item | Unit | Formula | Waste | Round up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In-situ concrete C32/40 in slab | m3 | Area * Thickness | 5% | |
| A393 mesh reinforcement | m2 | Area * (1 + MeshLap) | 0% | |
| 1200 gauge DPM | m2 | Area | 10% | |
| Edge formwork | m | Perimeter | 0% |
Variables: Height = 2.4, BlocksPerM2 = 10
| Item | Unit | Formula | Waste | Round up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100mm dense concrete blockwork | m2 | Length * Height | 0% | |
| Blocks | nr | Length * Height * BlocksPerM2 | 5% | Yes |
| Mortar | m3 | Length * Height * 0.01 | 10% | |
| Wall ties / reinforcement every 3rd course | m | Length * ceil(Height / 0.675) | 5% |
Variables: Doors = 0, DoorWidth = 0.9, BoardLength = 4.2
| Item | Unit | Formula | Waste | Round up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MDF skirting board | m | max(0, Length - Doors * DoorWidth) | 10% | |
| Skirting lengths | nr | max(0, Length - Doors * DoorWidth) / BoardLength | 10% | Yes |
| Decoration to skirting | m | max(0, Length - Doors * DoorWidth) | 0% |
Yes, all of them. The Excel template and the CSV don't need Takeoff Studio at all. Importing a tool library or a project package into Takeoff Studio needs Takeoff Studio Pro (first month free).
The US Army Corps of Engineers' One Company HQ Fire Station standard design (September 2021). Works of the US Government are in the public domain. It's an imperial drawing; the sample is calibrated at 1/8" = 1'-0" (1:96) so quantities read in metres.
Yes. It's a starting point - check it against the project's own measurement rules and add the work sections you need from the Work sections sheet.
Yes. Import it on each PC, or change it and export your own with Library > Export Tools - tools keep their trade, rate, style and assemblies.
Measuring is free. Takeoff Studio Pro is £24.99 a month or £199.99 a year, and the first month is free.
