How Our Lumber Estimates Help Contractors Build More Efficiently

Every project begins long before the first piece of lumber arrives on site. There are several complications in the construction work that people have to face when it begins. Our lumber estimates are developed based on high-end technology. Every estimate that we provide offers complete cost forecasting and enables you to prevent revenue leakages by helping you order lumber material in the right amount.

Our Lumber Estimates in Texas

Lumber Quantity Takeoffs

Lumber quantity takeoff is conducted using the drawings and blueprints. Our engineers break down the material quantities and then calculate the labor hours required for the completion of the work. We ensure accurate quantities reduce material shortages, prevent overordering, and provide a foundation for bidding.

Lumber Cost Estimates

The cost estimate for a trade like lumber is complex. The reason behind that is a cost-sensitive trade, and a slight mistake can damage the entire construction project. We quantify wall studs, plates, headers, beams, blocking, and all the accessories using tools like Bluebeam Revu, Procore, and FastDUCT to calculate the accurate cost of the entire project.

Value Engineering Estimating Services

Value engineering helps subcontractors and general contractors to reduce the overall construction costs. We focus on the materials that can increase the overall cost of the project and then provide you with recommendations that are budget-friendly. Contractors and developers can improve project profitability by reducing unnecessary material expenses, minimizing waste, and selecting more cost-effective framing approaches.

Bid Support Estimates

Many general contractors and subcontractors bid for the projects in Texas, but most of them complain that their bids are rejected. To prevent the rejection, we are providing bid support estimates. Our engineers organize quantities into bid-ready formats. Accurate lumber takeoffs strengthen bids and reduce the risk of missing material costs.

Preliminary Estimating Services

We also provide preliminary lumber estimates for GCs and subcontractors. The early-stage lumber estimates are completely reliable and provide you 45% to 50% accuracy. Our estimators analyze conceptual drawings, schematic designs, floor plans, building dimensions, framing assumptions, and historical construction data to project lumber quantities and costs during the planning phase.

Who We Work With

Our lumber estimates are provided to all the professionals, including home builders and EPC contractors, as well as government contractors. Our lumber estimating solution supports professionals across the entire construction supply chain, helping them make better decisions before materials are ordered.
