Contractors lose thousands of dollars every year to estimation errors, missed scope items, and wasted time. Here's exactly what we fix.
Our estimating team supports a wide variety of construction projects.
Every estimate is prepared from architectural drawings, structural plans, framing layouts, and specifications to provide accurate material quantities and procurement-ready reports.
Detailed, itemized takeoff reports with quantities, costs and clear breakdown of flowing materials. Here's a preview of that.
Every report includes color-coded marked plans, itemized quantity sheets, and a full cost summary — delivered in Excel and PDF formats, ready to attach directly to your bid submission.
Each Austin estimate includes fasteners, stair framing, dimensional lumber, engineered wood (LVL, PSL, I-joists), roof trusses, floor trusses, plywood and OSB sheathing, wall plates and studs, headers and beams, and blocking and backing. Podium framing includes rod tie-down systems and shear-wall schedules by floor. Sill anchorage and treated sills are included.

Austin's growth has shifted from downtown towers to semiconductor fabs, suburban multifamily, and infill housing, so speed of bid turnaround often decides who wins the job. For framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors, that makes accurate lumber and framing quantities on semiconductor and tech manufacturing and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Wood framing in Austin's denser areas usually means four to five stories of wood over a concrete podium. These buildings use stacked shear walls, continuous rod tie-downs, shrinkage-compensation devices, and fire-rated assemblies. We count each one, along with studs, plates, and sheathing. On the area's active soils, framing often sits on structural floors, and our takeoffs include those systems.
Each takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend from your current plan set and checked against the IBC and IRC editions adopted by Austin, including nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. Lumber quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how Austin contractors actually bid.
