Our Story
Lumber and Framing Takeoff & Estimating Built for Garden City Contractors
Garden City work is mostly high-finish residential renovation, Franklin Avenue offices, and the commercial district around Roosevelt Field, where finish standards are high. Our framing estimators work with framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors across Garden City, pricing jobs tied to Roosevelt Field retail and office, high-end residential renovations, and Franklin Avenue medical and office space.
Cold-climate walls in Garden City use deeper studs and exterior insulation, so our lumber takeoffs follow the specified assembly. Framing in older local homes means sistering joists, replacing rot, adding headers for new openings, and framing additions onto out-of-square structures.
Our framing estimators use PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend to build each Garden City takeoff, and they read the drawings with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code in mind, including nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every lumber and framing number can be checked.
Contractors in Garden City use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in nearby Mineola and Franklin Square. 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.
