Trade, Millwork & Carpentry

Millwork Estimating Services

Carpentry, cabinetry, casework and countertop takeoffs covering every trim, mould and built-in element, priced for real bidding, not guesswork. Pricing follows current supplier and labor rates for your area, so the millwork figures hold up when an owner questions them.

Millwork estimating

Every trim, mould and built-in accounted for

Millwork estimates go wrong when a small run of trim, a set of corbels or a custom mantel gets missed between the drawings and the material order. Our millwork estimators work through door and window casings, cabinetry, countertops and every architectural woodwork detail line by line, so nothing is left to be caught on site.

We support general contractors, millwork and framing subcontractors, homebuilders, remodelling contractors, lumberyards and designers with takeoffs that cover both traditional wood elements and modern alternatives, synthetics, plastics and wood-adhesive composites now common in commercial millwork packages.

Because the millwork takeoff follows AACE and MasterFormat conventions, contractors, owners and lenders can all read the same workbook without a translation step.
