What is the difference between Material take off and Bill of materials in piping?

Answer 1

A Material Takeoff is the process of analyzing(this includes list of materials with quantities and

types,grades of materials and the weights of such materials) drawings and determining all the materials

required to complete the design.

A Bill of Materials is adocument that shows detailed desgriptions of materials used in completing a

project,this includes,types of materials,specification of each item,gost of each item used,number and cost

of labour used in completing the poject.

The major difference between the two is:MTO is needed to make a BOM,a BOM aids in the procurement and

requisition of materials.
