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 Brooklyn lumber and framing takeoff covers 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. Connectors are counted by type and corrosion rating. Every lumber and framing item is reported with exact counts, linear footage, square footage, or volume, cross-referenced to your drawing sheets and schedules.

Brooklyn ranges from 40-story Downtown towers to 120-year-old brownstones, and Gowanus and the waterfront add flood-resistant construction and environmental cleanup to the scope. Our framing estimators work with framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors across Brooklyn, pricing jobs tied to Downtown Brooklyn residential towers, Gowanus rezoning projects, and brownstone gut renovations.
Podium wood framing in Brooklyn depends on continuous tie-down systems and shear walls. Our takeoffs separate rod runs, take-up devices, and sheathing nailing zones by floor. Near the water in the area, framing hardware is a big line item.
Projects in Brooklyn are permitted under the NYC Construction Codes, so we follow the code-driven notes on your drawings (nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies) and carry them into the takeoff. New York City costs such as DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, hoisting, and Local Law 97 upgrades are called out separately when they apply. Our team uses PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend to measure and organize every lumber and framing quantity.
Hiring an in-house lumber and framing estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Brooklyn with fast, itemized lumber and framing estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve neighborhoods such as Bushwick and Bay Ridge as well. 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. Your lumber and framing estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Share your plans and scope, and we'll send a fixed quote within an hour.
We price lumber and framing work in every part of Brooklyn, from Williamsburg, Park Slope, and Bushwick to Bay Ridge, Downtown Brooklyn, and Greenpoint, plus Gowanus, DUMBO, and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Because estimating is done remotely from your drawings, a job in Greenpoint gets the same turnaround as one in Williamsburg. For rules that apply citywide, see our New York City page.
