| Total (ex GST) | $0.00 | |||
Enter each material with its quantity, unit and rate. The line amount is quantity times rate, updated as you type.
All the line amounts add to a running total — a quick materials cost for the job, before GST and labour.
Use Print / Save as PDF to turn the take-off into a clean list you can attach to a quote or hand to a supplier.
A material take-off (or take-up) is an itemised list of all the materials a job needs, with quantities and often costs, taken off the plans or the site measure. It’s the basis for pricing a job and for ordering materials, so getting it complete and accurate protects your margin.
No — the total is the materials cost, before GST and before labour. Add your labour, any subcontractors, margin and GST on top to build a full quote. Our markup and margin, and charge-out rate calculators help with the rest.
Use the Print / Save as PDF button to keep a copy or attach it to a quote. Your entries stay in the browser only and aren’t sent anywhere — nothing is stored once you leave the page.
Work through the job methodically — structure, then services, then finishes, then consumables and fixings — and add a waste allowance to quantities. The small consumables (screws, sealant, adhesive) are the ones most often forgotten and they add up.
This tool is a simple materials-list aid. It totals the quantities and rates you enter and doesn’t include GST, labour, waste allowances or margin unless you add them. Confirm quantities against your plans and site measure before ordering.
