Our Customers
We frequently provide cost-effective lumber estimates for woodwork contractors, framers, carpenters, and builders. Our estimates, which include details such as timber or lumber, labor costs, man-hours, transportation costs, insurance, and licenses, have helped our clients secure successful bids and achieve favorable markups. General contractors and builders also benefit from our estimates when negotiating with suppliers and subcontractors. Timber wholesalers, suppliers, and retailers rely on our precise takeoffs to determine the number of wood logs needed for orders with their millwork contractors. Our accurate estimates assist their sales team in recommending the right material quantities to customers, increasing sales and fostering lasting business relationships.
Furthermore, we provide an accurate lumber takeoff list that simplifies the conversion of lineal feet to board feet, maximizing wood utilization and reducing waste. This environmentally-friendly approach also leads to cost savings. Our clients include general builders, millwork builders, developers, framing contractors, carpenters, lumberyards, wholesale lumber suppliers, lumber merchants, architects, and designers.

We provide calculations for a wide range of materials
Our lumber estimators cover several divisions of materials that are not limited and provide support for the following:
Our lumber estimates encompass various components, including sill plates, nook studs, wall studs, ladder studs, framing panels, as well as decking for roofs and floors, rafters, trusses, and joists. We also take into account the elements of window and door casing such as beams, headers, cripples, and trimmers, as well as timber accessories and potential sloppy carpentry. In addition, we factor in sheathing and insulation gaps for comprehensive and accurate estimates..
What are the benefits of outsourcing lumber takeoff services?
Accurate lumber estimates and framing lumber takeoff estimating services require in-depth knowledge of millwork building methods, wall configurations, lumber quality, structural connections, labor costs, man-hours, transportation expenses, and more. Doing these estimations and takeoffs on your own can be time-consuming and challenging. By outsourcing to a lumber takeoff company like ours, you can save time and focus on bidding on other jobs or developing business plans.
Outsourcing also eliminates the need to hire and train professional staff and purchase expensive estimating software, resulting in cost savings. Using the services of professional estimating businesses increases your chances of winning contracts and establishing lasting relationships with general contractors. These companies have experienced lumber estimators who can provide extremely accurate and efficient takeoffs
