Material TakeOff(MTO)
Introduction
Material Take-Off (MTO) is a term used in engineering, piping and construction, and refers to a list of materials with quantities and types (such as specific grades of steel) that are required to build a designed structure or item. This list is generated by analysis of a blueprint or other design document. The list of required materials for construction is sometimes referred to as the Material Take Off List (MTOL).
Material take off is not limited to the amount of required material, but also the weight of the items taken off. This is important when dealing with larger structures, allowing the company that does the take off to determine total weight of the item and how best to move the item (if necessary) when construction is completed.
An Example of MTO created using PDS/PDMS software will look like following
