From the courtyard slab plan, what slab area should be used for quantity takeoff?

Correct Answer

B) 912 sf

The drawn slab dimensions are 38 ft by 24 ft, so the area is 912 sf.

Answer Options
A
848 sf
B
912 sf
C
1,024 sf
D
1,176 sf

Why This Is the Correct Answer

The drawn slab dimensions are 38 ft by 24 ft, so the area is 912 sf.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: 848 sf

848 sf is below the supported result for dimensioned plan area takeoff; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.

Option C: 1,024 sf

1,024 sf is above the supported result for dimensioned plan area takeoff; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Option D: 1,176 sf

1,176 sf is above the supported result for dimensioned plan area takeoff; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.

Memory Technique

Dimensioned Plan Area cart for Pricing Exterior: drawn first, slab second, whole sf last.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: turn to sheet A-121 in the plan packet, then use the COURTYARD SLAB PLAN note/table before checking P&P Commercial Construction plan-reading guidance.
