For General Contractors, Framing Contractors & Lumber Suppliers
Projects in Journal Square, Liberty Harbor, and across Hudson County move quickly, and so does our team. We provide lumber takeoff and framing estimating services in Jersey City, NJ, giving framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors itemized lumber and framing takeoffs and cost estimates in 24 to 72 hours without adding estimating staff.
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 Jersey City 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. Connectors are counted by type and corrosion rating. 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.

Jersey City is home base for Remote Estimation — our office is on Wayne Street — so we know how Hudson County podium towers, tight Downtown laydown space, and flood-zone requirements change a bid. Whether you're bidding Liberty Harbor redevelopment or brownstone and rowhouse renovations, our framing estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Near the water in Jersey City, framing hardware is a big line item. Our takeoffs include each strap, clip, and anchor with the specified corrosion protection. Podium wood framing in the area depends on continuous tie-down systems and shear walls.
Under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), 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 Jersey City bid.
Hiring an in-house lumber and framing estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Jersey City with fast, itemized lumber and framing estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve nearby Newark and Union City as well. Labor assumptions for the lumber and framing scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. Public jobs in New Jersey follow the state Prevailing Wage Act, and redevelopment projects that receive public assistance often do too. Send your lumber and framing drawings today for a fixed quote.
Our Jersey City service area includes Downtown and Paulus Hook, Journal Square, and Liberty Harbor, plus neighboring communities such as Hoboken, Bayonne, Newark, Union City, Weehawken, and Secaucus.
