Takeoff and room quantities

0:01Takeoff and room quantities.

0:03A hotel is ordered by the room. Under Specify, Areas and rooms, list each room type and how many: here, a hundred and twenty kings, eighty double queens and twelve corner suites.

0:16Room numbers go in as ranges. Change a room type’s count later, and every item’s quantity follows.

0:21On an item’s Quantities tab, Quantity by room type says how many go in one room of each type: one headboard per king, two per double queen.

0:31The guestroom carpet isn’t distributed yet. Press Distribute by room type, and type the square yards in one room of each.

0:39Save, and the total becomes the item’s quantity,

0:42nine thousand six hundred and eighty square yards, with the change noted in its history.

0:47Takeoff shows the whole project at once: items down, room types across, the quantity per room in each cell, and the total on the right.

0:56Reports has the room schedule: what goes into each room type, per room and extended. It downloads as a spreadsheet too.

1:04And under Reports and printouts, the FF&E matrices download as spreadsheets.

1:10The quantity matrix gives each item’s total by room type, with the items that have no takeoff under their area.

1:17The item matrix gives the quantity in one room of each type, and the room-number matrix a column for every room.

1:25That’s takeoff and room quantities. More videos: portspace.io/videos
