Our Lumber Estimation Process
Our estimation process starts with a review of your drawing plans, material specs, and field requirements to define the scope of your project. It’s the first step in estimating construction material. Then, we use the latest estimating software and takeoff tools for on-screen takeoff and a smooth estimation process. All lumber quantities are exported to EXCEL spreadsheets that are well-referenced with color-coded plans. Our takeoff plans include:
● Insulation gaps and sheathings
● Rough carpentry and timber accessories
● Floor decking & roof decking
● Various sizes and types of wooden posts
● Joists, rafters, & trusses, wooden joists, wall studs etc.
We use our construction cost database and RS Means for up-to-date and location-based pricing to estimate your project cost. Our estimates include all direct and indirect costs like lumber costs, transportation costs, insurance, safety costs and other miscellaneous costs. Our certified estimators double-check the estimates for accuracy.
