כתב הכמויות כולל פינוי פסולת בניין.

That is a very common question. כתב can indeed be the past-tense verb he wrote, but here it is a noun.

In this sentence, כתב הכמויות is a set phrase meaning the bill of quantities or quantity specification in a construction/contract context.

So here:

• כתב = a document / specification / written schedule
• כתב הכמויות = the bill of quantities

Hebrew often has words that can be both a verb form and a noun, so you have to decide from context.

Because Hebrew often uses a construct chain (called סמיכות) instead of of.

So:

• כתב הכמויות literally means something like document of the quantities
• in natural English, that becomes the bill of quantities

In a construct chain:

• the first noun usually does not take ה
• the second noun often carries the definiteness

So כתב הכמויות is the normal Hebrew structure here, not הכתב של הכמויות.

Because כמויות is the plural of כמות (quantity).

So:

• כמות = quantity
• כמויות = quantities

The full phrase כתב הכמויות is a standard professional term, equivalent to bill of quantities in English. English also uses the plural in that expression, so this matches well.

Because כולל agrees with כתב, not with הכמויות.

The subject of the sentence is the whole phrase כתב הכמויות, but its head noun is כתב, which is:

• singular
• masculine

So the predicate is also singular masculine:

• כולל = includes / including

Even though הכמויות is plural, it is not the word controlling the agreement here.

כולל is the masculine singular present-tense form of the verb לכלול (to include).

Here is the present tense:

• כולל = masculine singular
• כוללת = feminine singular
• כוללים = masculine plural
• כוללות = feminine plural

Since כתב is masculine singular, כולל is the correct form.

Because את is normally used before a definite direct object, and פינוי פסולת בניין is not definite here.

Compare:

• הוא כולל פינוי פסולת בניין = it includes removal of construction waste
  no את, because the object is indefinite

But if the object were definite, you would expect את:

• הוא כולל את פינוי פסולת הבניין = it includes the removal of the construction waste

So the absence of את tells you the object is being presented in a more general, indefinite way.

פינוי is a noun meaning removal, clearing, or evacuation, depending on context.

Here it means removal/clearing away.

It comes from the verb לפנות, which can mean:

• to clear
• to remove
• to evacuate
• to turn

So in this sentence:

• פינוי פסולת בניין = removal of construction waste

This is very common in Hebrew: a verbal idea is often expressed with a noun like פינוי instead of a finite verb.

Yes. פסולת בניין is also a construct-like noun combination.

It means:

• פסולת = waste
• בניין = building / construction

Together:

• פסולת בניין = construction waste / building waste

English usually uses an adjective-like noun (construction waste), and Hebrew often does the same with two nouns next to each other.

So the sentence contains nested noun relationships:

• כתב הכמויות
• פינוי פסולת בניין

This is one reason formal Hebrew can feel dense to learners.

In this context, בניין is best understood as construction rather than a specific building.

So:

• פסולת בניין = construction waste / building debris

Even though בניין often means building, in technical or legal contexts it can refer more broadly to building work or construction-related material.

The sentence follows a very normal Hebrew order:

• כתב הכמויות = subject
• כולל = verb/predicate
• פינוי פסולת בניין = object/complement

A literal breakdown would be:

• כתב הכמויות = the bill of quantities
• כולל = includes
• פינוי פסולת בניין = removal of construction waste

So the overall structure is very close to English: The bill of quantities includes removal of construction waste.

A natural pronunciation would be approximately:

Ktav ha-kamuyot kolel pinuy psolet binyan.

A few notes:

• כתב = ktav
• הכמויות = ha-ka-mu-YOT
• כולל = ko-LEL
• פינוי = pi-NUY
• פסולת = pso-let
• בניין = bin-YAN

The main stresses are usually on:

• ka-mu-YOT
• ko-LEL
• pi-NUY
• bin-YAN
