For General Contractors, Framing Contractors & Lumber Suppliers
Projects in the Ironbound, University Heights, and across Essex County move quickly, and so does our team. We provide lumber takeoff and framing estimating services in Newark, 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.
Here is what we measure on a typical Newark lumber and framing job: 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), roof trusses, and floor trusses. Podium framing includes rod tie-down systems and shear-wall schedules by floor. Connectors are counted by type and corrosion rating. Each lumber and framing line carries its unit of measure and sheet reference, so pricing and verification are straightforward.

Newark mixes downtown mid-rise residential, Ironbound infill, and port and airport work, so one month of bids can run from a three-family renovation to a warehouse fit-out. Our framing estimators work with framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors across Newark, pricing jobs tied to Port Newark-Elizabeth terminals, Newark Liberty International Airport projects, and university and hospital campuses.
Podium wood framing in Newark depends on continuous tie-down systems and shear walls. Our takeoffs separate rod runs, take-up devices, and sheathing nailing zones by floor. 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.
Projects in Newark are permitted under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), so we follow the code-driven notes on your drawings (nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies) and carry them into the takeoff. Our team uses PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend to measure and organize every lumber and framing quantity.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Newark lumber and framing bid we touch. 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. Share your plans and scope, and we'll send a fixed quote within an hour.
Our Newark service area includes Downtown Newark, the Ironbound, and University Heights, plus neighboring communities such as Jersey City, Elizabeth, East Orange, Irvington, Harrison, and Kearny. Every lumber and framing estimate is prepared remotely from your drawings, so a project in Kearny gets the same turnaround as one in Downtown Newark. We also cover the rest of New Jersey.
