A New Brunswick lumber and framing takeoff from our team lists roof trusses, floor trusses, plywood and OSB sheathing, wall plates and studs, headers and beams, blocking and backing, hold-downs and straps, joist hangers and connectors, fasteners, and stair framing. Podium framing includes rod tie-down systems and shear-wall schedules by floor. Energy-code wall assemblies are followed exactly. Quantities are grouped the way your lumber and framing crews install the work, which makes pricing labor as easy as pricing material.

New Brunswick's downtown has health-sciences towers, cancer-center construction, and Rutgers projects packed into a few blocks, with the institutional detail that comes with that. For framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors, that makes accurate lumber and framing quantities on the HELIX health and life-sciences hub and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Wood framing in New Brunswick'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. Energy-code requirements in the area often push framing to 2×6 walls, advanced framing, or continuous exterior insulation, which changes stud counts, sheathing, and fasteners.
Each takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend from your current plan set and checked against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), including nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. Lumber quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how New Brunswick contractors actually bid.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every New Brunswick lumber and framing bid we touch. We can price lumber and framing labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. New Jersey's Prevailing Wage Act covers public works, with rates published by the NJ Department of Labor and Workforce Development, and many redevelopment projects carry the same requirement. Your first lumber and framing estimate is 10% off.
