Link Takeoff measurements to quote quantities
Use the saved kitchen floor area as the quantity source for a priced line.

00:00:12.512 --> 00:00:25.984
The drawing and draft quote must belong to the same job.
Check the drawing revision, scale, measurement and unit before linking.

00:00:25.984 --> 00:00:37.712
Select the measurement that represents this work.
Floor area is in square metres; perimeter is a different quantity.

00:00:37.712 --> 00:00:49.044
Keep the multiplier at 1 when the measured unit matches the priced unit.
Avoid mixing lengths, areas and counts in the same quantity.

00:00:49.044 --> 00:01:04.602
The draft line now takes its quantity from the saved measurement.
Review the resulting quantity and price before sharing the quote.

00:01:04.602 --> 00:01:13.818
Reopening the link shows the saved source and calculation.
Waste is a pricing allowance; it does not change the measured room size.

00:01:13.818 --> 00:01:31.001
This example adds 5% waste: about 24 m² × 1.05 = 25.2 m².
Apply an allowance only when it is appropriate for the work and pricing basis.

00:01:31.001 --> 00:01:39.503
Review the quote after a linked quantity changes.
A revised drawing or measurement can also require review before publishing.

00:01:39.503 --> 00:01:48.095
Recap: match the job and units, link the correct source and verify the result.
Keep measured quantities, waste allowances and rates understandable.
