Miami's high-rise condo market, Florida Building Code hurricane rules, and post-Surfside recertification and restoration work make it one of the most demanding places in the country to price construction. Whether you're bidding PortMiami and airport logistics or condo recertification and restoration work, our framing estimators build quantities from your drawings, not from rules of thumb.
Wood framing in Miami'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. Coastal framing in the area relies on a continuous load path: hurricane straps, hold-downs, and corrosion-rated connectors on every rafter, stud, and sill.
Each takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend from your current plan set and checked against the Florida Building Code, including nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. Lumber quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how Miami contractors actually bid.
