    Before calculating, we access your project plans and CAD drawings to understand the layout, dimensions, and specs. We analyze the type and grade of lumber you need by considering wall alignment, load-bearing needs, and reinforcement requirements.


    Our lumber estimators use the best construction industry tools like PlanSwift, and BlueBeam to measure dimensions, quantify materials, and create digital blueprints. By using color-coded systems, we map out each component of the project.

It includes structural components like posts, beams, and trusses. Also, the sheathing, and decking that includes plywood and oriented strand board, joists, and rafters according to the design and load requirements of your project. We present the results in a color-coded Excel spreadsheet with quantities, types, and sizes of all materials. The team also calculates the cost of local labor and the time required.
