Take Off Page


You may wish to pencil entries to the take off page and enter them to the model later.
Times have changed, but your computer is not always at hand. And to some, it just makes sense to use the pencil, not the keyboard, at this stage. The input here mirrors that of the sample project displayed on the LDM input page (an 83 lot, two phase subdivision with seller financing and no land option).


The take off page is provided with the model. Simply print it out and pencil in your entries.
