Our Story
How Our Lumber and Framing Estimators Help Brookhaven Contractors Win More Bids
The Town of Brookhaven, Long Island's largest town, includes Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and expanding residential communities from Port Jefferson to Shirley. We prepare lumber and framing estimates for that full range of work, from large residential and retail developments to smaller jobs in the William Floyd corridor and the surrounding neighborhoods.
Near the water in Brookhaven, framing hardware is a big line item. Our takeoffs include each strap, clip, and anchor with the specified corrosion protection. Cold-climate walls in the area use deeper studs and exterior insulation, so our lumber takeoffs follow the specified assembly.
Under the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, small details add up: nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. We catch them during the lumber and framing takeoff instead of after the award. Measurements are done in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend and summarized in Excel for your Brookhaven bid.
Contractors in Brookhaven use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in nearby Stony Brook and Patchogue. 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. Prevailing wage rates for public work in New York State come from the Department of Labor, organized by county and trade.
