Our estimation process
Our company’s skilled estimators can quickly identify structural problems, product relevance, and alternatives since they are expert and up to date in building methods, wall alignments, lumber quality, temporary bracing, and reinforcing.
We determine the scope of work by reviewing the client’s design plans, material specifications, usages, field needs, delivery sequences, etc. before beginning the estimating process. Subsequently, takeoff is performed by utilizing software such as Planswift, Trimble, etc. to import the plans and precisely measure the dimensions.
The quantities of lumbar needed for framing are all exported to excel files that have color-coded plans and are well referenced. The following quantities, not exclusively, are broken down in our takeoff:
- Wood posts, available in a variety of sizes and kinds
- Structural timber parts, such as corner studs, wall studs, ladder studs, sill plates and frame panels.
- Sheathings and insulation gaps
- Rough carpentry and accessories
- Decking on the roof and floors
- Casings for windows and doors, such as headers, beams, cripples, and trimmers.
- Trusses, rafters, and joists
We create a precise lumber cut list to guarantee that the most amounts of wooden posts are used and to prevent length waste. It also facilitates the efficient use of every single piece of wood by frames.
We base our project cost estimate on your specifications. This means that we may use our construction cost database and RSmeans to provide you with current, location-based pricing, or we can email you the quoted material lists to transmit to your suppliers. In terms of labour expenses, we may accommodate your desired prevailing wages, union or non-union labour rates.
All of the cost, both direct and indirect such as those associated with lumber, shipping, insurance, maintenance, cleanups, and other incidentals are included in our estimates.
