What framing systems do you estimate?
We takeoff wood, steel and hybrid framing systems—walls, floors, roof rafters, trusses and headers.
Do you include all required connectors and fasteners?
Yes. Our estimates include nails, screws, ties, straps, hangers, plates and hardware for code compliant structural framing.
Are your framing estimates based on Canadian building codes?
Yes. We reference the National Building Code of Canada and applicable provincial codes and industry standards like CSA O86 for structural calculations.
Can you estimate pre-built trusses and roof framing?
Yes. We include truss layouts, pre-fabricated floor/roof trusses, rafters, ridge beams and support framing based on your design or engineered shop drawings.
Do you break down labor in your framing takeoffs?
Yes. Labor rates are region specific and include framing crew productivity, setup/cleanup time and site logistics for accurate budgeting.
How do you handle phased or multiple-structure framing projects?
We segment quantities by phase or structure—duplex units, townhomes or multi-building commercial sites—to match your build sequence and schedule.
Do you account for sheathing, blocking and bracing?
Yes. We quantify exterior and interior sheathing, blocking for cabinetry and shelving, wind bracing and hold-downs according to structural specs.
What format do you deliver the framing estimate in?
You’ll receive an annotated takeoff package with Excel or PDF reports, including summary and branch/mat layer views.
Do you factor in material waste and off-cuts?
Yes. Standard waste allowances are included for studs, plates, headers and sheathing to ensure complete coverage without underestimating.
Why outsource framing estimating?
Get expert estimators, more bids without staff, and faster RFQ responses.
