Find a minimum of three peer-reviewed resources that describe how construction plans and specifications can be read and reviewed. You can also rely on guidelines or resources prepared by governmental agencies or professional associations (Example 1 Links to an external site., Example 2 Links to an external site., Example 3 Links to an external site.). Then prepare a three-page narrative (the three page excludes the cover page, appendices, and reference page that you have to provide) to describe four of the main considerations that need to be given to performing quantity takeoff.
In addition, explain how you, as an estimator, would assess the quality of an estimate to ensure the above-noted four considerations are given to preparing an estimate. Cite and incorporate content from the textbook and the references noted above.
