Whether you
are seeking a material quantity estimate for a developer,
contractor, lumber company, panel shop, professional estimator
or private individual, we can tell you exactly what you need
to build your project.
Our material quantity take-offs are PRECISE
because they are based on a CAD model of your project.
We can generate take-offs on any structure,
regardless of size. Framing take-offs
start at .035 per square foot under
roof. Cornice and siding, millwork, and all other estimating
needs are priced separately.
All work is
prioritized in 3 ways: the order it comes in; when your bid
is due; whether your project is “expedited”.
Expedited projects are assessed a surcharge in exchange for
priority over non-expedited work.
We strive to turn your work around
as quickly as possible. That is usually about a week, but may
be longer at times. If we can not meet your deadline, we
will tell you within 24 hours. Click
here to read our typical turn-around policy.
We can work from
blueprints, electronic drawings (DWG/DXF, TIFs or PDFs),
hand-drawn plans or rough sketches. Large files may be uploaded
to our password-protected FTP site.
Your take-off can be returned to
you as a PDF, Word document, text file, or as an Excel spread
sheet. For an extra set-up fee, take-offs can be returned in
a format that includes your SKU numbers.
We generate EXACT material take-offs
using BuildersCAD.
Now offering
with residential takeoffs: Enhanced Framing Diagrams
(click
for example)
On enhanced
framing diagrams, each board is labeled with the nominal
length of lumber from which the framer should cut the labeled
joist/rafter. Also,
we place a list of
lumber (size, length and grade) figured for the floor/roof/ceiling. Using
this information, if the framer will cut the joists/rafters
according to the labeled lengths indicated on the enhanced
framing diagram, the amount of lumber waste will be minimized.
Enhanced framing drawings may be generated
for the following:
- one drawing for the roof system;
- one drawing for each floor level;
- one drawing to cover all flat or vaulted ceilings
in the structure*.
Fee:
$30 per enhanced framing diagram that you request.
*Enhanced framing drawings for trey ceilings
or barrel-vaulted ceilings will be quoted upon request.
