How to Calculate Architectural Fractions

Standard construction layout takeoffs require transitioning between engineering decimals and fractional building dimensions. To determine the nearest 1/16-inch scale factor manually, multiply your remaining fractional decimal property value by 16, and round the remaining figure to the closest whole numerator baseline asset value.
