Lumber Takeoff Services
Complete Division 6 wood and plastic composite takeoffs, framing, millwork and cut lists that keep waste down and let you negotiate supply with confidence. A trade estimator handles the lumber scope, confirms the fee before starting, and lists every assumption.
Lumber estimating
Framing quantities that cut waste, not corners
Lumber contractors, framers and vendors all need the same three numbers to hold up: timber quantity, labour hours and transportation cost. Our lumber takeoffs build all three into a single package, which has helped clients win bids with sharper markups and negotiate more effectively with their own suppliers. Every takeoff includes an accurate lumber cut list, converting lineal footage to board footage so framers can plan cutting lengths and use as much of each piece of timber as possible.
Less offcut waste keeps costs down and reduces what ends up in the dumpster.
A dedicated lumber estimator handles wood sill, structural and non-structural lumber, and fascia across every Division 6 scope, following the guidelines of the American Association of Cost Engineers (AACE) and the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS).
