	The term ‘taking off’ refers to the process of identifying elements of construction works that can be measured and priced to produce bills of quantities. Analysis of drawings and specifications allows the cost consultant (usually a quantity surveyor) to prepare a taking off list, which lists all of the individual elements that comprise the works. These elements can then be measured in number, length, area, volume, weight or time and then collated and structured to produce an unpriced bill of quantities.
