Framing lumber estimates for builders, framing subcontractors and lumber yards. We take the framing off the plans member by member and return a purchasable material list — board feet, piece counts by length, sheathing, hardware and fasteners — alongside the priced estimate.
The output is written to be ordered from, not just bid from: pieces are called out by dimension and length so a yard can quote it directly.
Plates, studs, headers and blocking by wall type.
Joists, rafters and trusses counted from the framing plans.
LVL, PSL, glulam and I-joists picked up from the schedules.
Panel areas converted into sheet counts with a real waste factor.
Connectors scheduled against the structural details.
Board-foot totals and a priced package by species and grade.
Three files, every time — the numbers, the evidence behind them, and what we assumed to get there.
A line-item estimate in Excel or CSV, priced off your own cost library or a regional benchmark database, with material, labor, equipment and subcontract split out.
The measured drawing set comes back with every quantity traced on the sheet it came from, so your own reviewer can check a number without re-measuring it.
A written basis of estimate: what was included, what was excluded, which allowances were carried, and the open questions worth issuing as an RFI before the bid goes out.
Output is organised by current CSI MasterFormat sections, and mapped to your own cost codes on request.
Upload the set through the request form. An estimator confirms scope and comes back with a fixed quote within four business hours.
