Trade Overview

Measured Scope That Is Easy to Price and Review

We extract framing quantities from architectural and structural drawings and separate key components so the material list is useful for bidding, supplier pricing and procurement review.

Typical Measured Scope

What We Can Break Down for Framing / Lumber

The exact scope follows the plans and agreed bid requirements. Typical measurable items include:

  • Wall studs, plates and headers
  • Floor joists, beams and posts
  • Roof rafters and framing members
  • Engineered lumber where shown
  • Blocking, sheathing and associated items
  • Framing breakdowns by level or assembly

Remote Estimating Process

Documents, Pricing and Agreed Deliverables

All estimating and quantity takeoff services are provided 100% remotely throughout the United States. We do not perform site visits.

Location-Specific Cost Inputs

When cost estimating is requested, we use RSMeans Data as one of our primary sources for location-specific material and labor pricing. Inputs are selected for the project’s city/state and adjusted as appropriate for specifications, trade requirements, quantities, construction type and information supplied by the client.

A quantity-only takeoff does not include cost pricing unless it is part of the agreed scope.

What You Receive

Depending on the agreed service and trade, deliverables may include a quantity takeoff / BOQ, material quantities, labor quantities or hours, drawing markups, trade breakdowns, inclusions and exclusions, and assumptions and clarifications. Material and labor costs are included when requested; 3D views are optional where applicable.

Missing or unclear information can be recorded as assumptions and exclusions. We confirm the scope and deliverables from the documents received before work begins.
