Lumber & Framing Estimating

Detailed lumber packages, wood framing takeoffs, and engineered wood component schedules for residential and multi-family structures.

Trade Overview & Cost Estimating Methodology

Wood framing is one of the most volatile cost centers in residential construction. Our wood framing takeoffs include detailed board-foot lists, stud layouts, header sizes, engineered joists (I-joists), roof trusses, and subflooring panels. We provide an exact shipping list for lumberyards, preventing excessive on-site theft and cutting waste.
