Our Lumber and Framing Estimating Process

Step 1: Framing Document Analysis

We review structural drawings, framing plans, and specifications to understand the complete scope of framing work. This includes identifying framing methods, lumber grades, and any special structural requirements.

Step 2: Material Takeoff

Our estimators calculate lumber quantities, hardware requirements, and structural components with precision. We account for waste factors, stud spacing, and other variables that affect material quantities.

Step 3: Labor and Equipment Costing

We apply New Jersey labor rates for framing, accounting for union agreements and regional productivity differences. Equipment costs — saws, compressors, and material handling — are included based on project requirements.

Step 4: Estimate Review and Delivery

The framing estimate is assembled into a detailed, system-by-system format. Our review process verifies quantities, pricing, and completeness before delivery.
