Timber Framing (LUMBER) Estimating

When it comes to framing, precision isn’t optional — it’s everything. One missed beam, one underestimated floor system, or one set of wrong joist lengths, and suddenly you’re over budget, off schedule, and under pressure.

At Construction Estimation, we don’t just count lumber — we think like builders. Our framing and lumber estimates are designed to reflect real-world construction methods, material flow, and how framing actually gets done on site.

What You Can Expect

We dive deep into your architectural and structural plans to extract everything your framing crew will need — down to the last stud, hanger, and sheet of plywood. Our deliverables are detailed, clean, and practical:
• Accurate counts of plates, studs, headers, joists, rafters, beams, and sheathing
• Wall, floor, and roof framing broken down by type, location, and assembly
• Engineered lumber and conventional framing quantities clearly separated
• Notes on framing connectors and hardware to prevent missed scope
• Organized BOQs and markup plans to walk you through the logic behind every number
• Custom format options for suppliers, builders, or internal team review

We Speak Contractor

We know that framing estimating isn’t just about what’s on the drawings — it’s also about understanding how crews build and how materials are ordered. That’s why we highlight:
• Build sequencing issues that may affect material drops
• Design irregularities that might impact your bid
• Framing zones with high waste risk (like angled walls or vaulted ceilings)
• Clarifications that might save you from a backcharge or change order later

We’re not just pushing numbers. We’re helping you make smart decisions, avoid costly gaps, and confidently walk into your next bid knowing it’s tight — and right.
