Quantity Takeoff · Count the complete scope
Custom size bathroom vanity quantity takeoff
A vanity is normally counted in pieces, but every piece needs a dimension and component definition. Keep room quantities separate from countertops, basins and spare parts.

1. Identify the finished dimension
Record width × depth × height and identify inches or millimeters. Distinguish the cabinet body from the countertop and top overhang. For a made-to-fit opening, provide the verified opening size and identify the allowance or filler decision as a separate question. Do not ask a supplier to infer installation tolerances from a photograph.
| Line item field | Buyer record | Supplier confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Room / type reference | Schedule identifier and revision | Proposed drawing reference |
| Finished dimensions | Width, depth, height and unit | Actual cabinet and top sizes |
| Quantity | Pieces per room type | Pieces per carton and shipment |
| Component scope | Cabinet, basin, top and hardware | Included items and exclusions |
2. Separate handed layouts and components
Use different schedule lines for left and right plumbing arrangements if they change drawer clearances. Count a double-basin cabinet as one cabinet only when that is your stated unit; then list the basin quantity explicitly. Request spare hinges, handles or drawer runners as separate quantities rather than hiding them in a general allowance.
3. Tie quantities to delivery stages
Group approved counts by floor, building or installation phase. State the US receiving destination, unloading limitations and requested delivery sequence. Ask for pack quantities and labels so the supplier can explain how each shipment relates to the schedule. Requested dates still need confirmation after scope and approvals are agreed.
Decisions that can change the count
Dimensions and approval
Can kitchen cabinet depth be reused?
Do not assume it. The Strasser Ravenna View 2024 family reference distinguishes 18- and 21-inch vanity depths and 34.5-inch height. These are examples of product-specific dimensions, not a universal vanity standard. Ask for the actual drawing of the offered cabinet and check its interface with the selected basin. See the source specification.
Who decides the site allowance?
The appointed designer or installer should confirm the opening, support conditions and allowance. Supplier matching does not replace a site survey, dimensional approval or code review.
Budget and comparison
Should every quote include the same top?
Yes, if you are comparing complete vanity packages. Alternatively, obtain cabinet-only prices from every supplier and compare tops separately. Mixing complete and cabinet-only prices hides the real purchasing difference.
How do preferences affect the brief?
A budget preference might favor a simpler surface or standard hardware; a high-end preference might prioritize custom color and hardware selection. Record both options against the same dimensions, piece counts and delivery basis. Then compare included components, sample approval cost and exclusions rather than assigning a supplier rating.
Send a takeoff that a factory can quote
Start with the schedule reference, dimensions and total pieces. Label unresolved materials, handed layouts or top choices so they remain visible in the supplier response.
- Cabinet and top dimensions listed separately
- Pieces linked to room types and delivery stages
