    Dave, while I agree whole-heartedly that the material list IS lacking, with over 50 years of design and construction under my belt, I like to use the list as a template, and modify quantities, materials, substitute product info etc., plugging in MY numbers w/$ for the +/- take-off for pricing and bidding. It works pretty good that way, and still saves some time/brain energy. The novice or one-time designer/builder would better themselves to let several builders do the take-off and provide the budget number. Some contractor's wll gladly share the material lists (w/o the $ assigned) then you can compare to the HD generated ML.
