Home About Us Framing Estimator Framing Estimator A framing estimator producing lumber and metal stud packages you can order from — plates, studs, headers, joists, trusses, sheathing, blocking and rough hardware, with waste factors applied per trade convention.
What our framing scope includes
A framing estimator producing lumber and metal stud packages you can order from, plates, studs, headers, joists, trusses, sheathing, blocking and rough hardware, with waste factors applied per trade convention. A trade estimator who works on framing packages every week handles the file, confirms the fee and delivery date before opening the drawings, and lists every assumption and exclusion in writing.
Turnaround is normally 24 to 48 hours, and when addenda change the framing scope the revised quantities are issued without a second invoice.
Nothing in the framing package is a lump-sum allowance, materials, labour hours, equipment and waste factors are separated so you can adjust markup line by line on bid day.

- Wall, floor and roof framing takeoff by member size
