Narrative:
We departed off the north ramp east taxi to 4E. Construction is causing delays at that intersection. We were headed to runway 8; when we were offered 17L. We taxied ahead on ec to 17L. We have been using P7 intersection most of last month and this month. First officer quickly started number 2 and was working on performance data. We had been used to using P7 and accepted the data without a complete check of limits. We took the runway with a flex setting and seemed to use more runway than usual; rotated about 1;000 ft later than normal. Out of 10;000 I had the first officer check the data and we took off overweight from the intersection. I feel I hurried him and that caused this.
