Our Story
Lumber and Framing Takeoff & Estimating Built for Levittown Contractors
Levittown's postwar Cape Cods and ranches are steadily being enlarged with second stories, dormers, and full renovations, mostly residential work on existing structures. Whether you're bidding Hempstead Turnpike retail or school facilities, our framing estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Energy-code requirements in Levittown often push framing to 2×6 walls, advanced framing, or continuous exterior insulation, which changes stud counts, sheathing, and fasteners. We take off the exact wall system specified. Renovation framing in the area is labor-heavy, so our takeoffs separate structural repairs, new openings, and additions.
Code requirements change quantities, so our framing estimators review every Levittown drawing set against the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, paying attention to nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. The takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Levittown lumber and framing bid we touch. Labor assumptions for the lumber and framing scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. On public work in New York, rates come from the State Department of Labor's prevailing wage schedules, and some privately built projects with significant public funding now fall under them too. Your first lumber and framing estimate is 10% off.
