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 Fort Lauderdale estimate includes joist hangers and connectors, fasteners, stair framing, dimensional lumber, engineered wood (LVL, PSL, I-joists), roof trusses, floor trusses, plywood and OSB sheathing, wall plates and studs, and headers and beams. Podium framing includes rod tie-down systems and shear-wall schedules by floor. Uplift connectors and wind sheathing are quantified.

Fort Lauderdale's Flagler Village towers, Port Everglades projects, and condo milestone inspection repairs keep coastal high-rise work steady across Broward County. For framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors, that makes accurate lumber and framing quantities on Flagler Village and downtown towers and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Wood framing in Fort Lauderdale'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. The area's wind design adds uplift connectors, thicker sheathing, tighter nailing, and gable-end bracing. Because Broward County falls within the Florida Building Code's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), product approvals and testing requirements are stricter, and we price to them.
Projects in Fort Lauderdale are permitted under the Florida Building Code, 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. Our team uses PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend to measure and organize every lumber and framing quantity.
