For General Contractors, Framing Contractors & Lumber Suppliers
Contractors bidding work tied to affordable housing developments need numbers they can defend. Remote Estimation provides lumber takeoff and framing estimating services in the Bronx, NY, turning your drawings into itemized lumber and framing quantities and cost estimates for framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors, usually within 24 to 72 hours.
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.
Our Bronx lumber and framing takeoff covers wall plates and studs, headers and beams, blocking and backing, hold-downs and straps, joist hangers and connectors, fasteners, stair framing, dimensional lumber, engineered wood (LVL, PSL, I-joists), and roof trusses. Energy-code wall assemblies are followed exactly. Podium framing includes rod tie-down systems and shear-wall schedules by floor. Every lumber and framing item is reported with exact counts, linear footage, square footage, or volume, cross-referenced to your drawing sheets and schedules.

The Bronx leads the city in new affordable housing, so HPD-financed multifamily, prevailing-wage requirements, and Hunts Point industrial work make up much of its bid volume. Our framing estimators work with framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors across the Bronx, pricing jobs tied to affordable housing developments, Hunts Point distribution facilities, and hospital campus upgrades.
Energy-code requirements in Bronx often push framing to 2×6 walls, advanced framing, or continuous exterior insulation, which changes stud counts, sheathing, and fasteners. We take off the exact wall system specified. Wood framing in the area's denser areas usually means four to five stories of wood over a concrete podium.
Code requirements change quantities, so our framing estimators review every Bronx drawing set against the NYC Construction Codes, paying attention to nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. New York City costs such as DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, hoisting, and Local Law 97 upgrades are called out separately when they apply. The takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Contractors in Bronx use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in neighborhoods such as Riverdale and Pelham Bay. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and lumber and framing numbers you can defend at bid review. Labor assumptions for the lumber and framing scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. City-funded work in the five boroughs is priced at the NYC Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and much private work here is built with union crews. Email your plan set to info@remoteestimation.us for a fixed lumber and framing quote.
We price lumber and framing work in every part of the Bronx, from Fordham, Riverdale, and Hunts Point to Mott Haven, Pelham Bay, and Kingsbridge, plus Port Morris, the Grand Concourse, and Throgs Neck. Because estimating is done remotely from your drawings, a job in Kingsbridge gets the same turnaround as one in Fordham. For rules that apply citywide, see our New York City page.
