4. Boxes (Box) - Packaged goods (e.g., tiles, fasteners, electrical fittings).
5. Bundles (Bdl) - Grouped items, often raw materials (e.g., rebar, lumber, pipes).
6. Rolls (Roll) - Continuous materials (e.g., carpet, roofing felt, wire mesh).
7. Pails (Pail) - Bucket-like containers (e.g., joint compound, paint).
8. Drums (Drum) - Large containers (e.g., industrial adhesives, sealants).
9. Reels (Reel) - Long flexible materials coiled (e.g., cable, fencing wire).
10. Spools (Spool) - Similar to reels; wire, rope, or cable.
Length-Based Quantity Types
1. Meters (m) - Linear measure (e.g., piping, conduit, trim).
2. Linear Meters (Lm) - Linear measure (e.g., piping, conduit, trim).
3. Feet (ft) - Alternative linear measure (e.g., lumber, cable).
4. Yards (yd) - Another linear option (e.g., fabric, edging).
5. Lengths (Lng) - Pre-cut lengths of material (e.g., 2m steel rods, 8ft boards).
6. Strips (Strip) - Narrow linear items (e.g., flashing, trim, rubber seals).
7. Coils (Coil) - Metal sheets or wire coiled by length/weight.
Specialized Construction Quantity Types
1. Sheets (Sht) - Flat materials (e.g., plywood, drywall, metal panels).
2. Pallets (Pal) - Bulk shipments (e.g., bricks, blocks, tiles on a pallet).
3. Loads (Load) - Truckload or large bulk delivery (e.g., sand, gravel).
4. Modules (Mod) - Modular construction sections or prefab elements.
5. Assemblies (Asm) - Complex pre-fabricated sets or systems.
