What Our Material & Framing Takeoffs Service Includes
Our service focuses on delivering comprehensive and easy-to-understand material reports that help contractors confidently estimate costs and streamline procurement. We prepare detailed framing material takeoffs for:
- Wood Framing: Studs, joists, beams, headers, trusses, blocking, and sheathing

We break down quantities by dimensions, type, and usage to help you plan for framing labor, material orders, and scheduling—all while staying within budget. Additionally, we offer detailed waste factor analysis to minimize material overordering and improve cost efficiency.
Comprehensive Framing Analysis
Our estimators delve deep into project plans to provide a thorough analysis of framing requirements. This includes:
- Load-Bearing Assessments: Evaluating structural elements to ensure they meet load requirements.
- Sheathing Calculations: Determining the exact number of sheathing panels needed, factoring in waste and overlaps.
- Connection Details: Specifying fasteners, connectors, and hardware essential for structural integrity.
We review drawings for potential constructability issues, offering insights that can help avoid costly rework. As part of our framing material takeoffs services, our team coordinates with architects and engineers when needed to clarify specifications, ensuring every framing component aligns perfectly with project goals.
