For General Contractors, Framing Contractors & Lumber Suppliers
Contractors bidding work tied to Great Falls historic district redevelopment need numbers they can defend. Remote Estimation provides lumber takeoff and framing estimating services in Paterson, NJ, turning your drawings into itemized lumber and framing quantities and cost estimates for framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors, usually within 24 to 72 hours.
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.
For Paterson projects, we quantify 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, stair framing, and dimensional lumber. Energy-code wall assemblies are followed exactly. Treated lumber below flood elevation is listed separately. Lumber quantities are organized in Excel by area and system, with waste factors and units clearly stated.

Paterson's historic mill district and Passaic River floodplain make adaptive reuse, affordable housing, and flood-resilient design the main local work. We prepare lumber and framing estimates for that full range of work, from affordable housing to smaller jobs in Downtown Paterson and the Great Falls district.
Energy-code requirements in Paterson 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. Elevated construction in Passaic County floodplains often means raised floor framing on piers or piles, with treated lumber below flood elevation.
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 Paterson contractors actually bid.
Contractors in Paterson use us when bid volume outpaces their in-house team, and so do firms in nearby Passaic and Haledon. You get a dedicated point of contact, a 24 to 72 hour turnaround, and lumber and framing numbers you can defend at bid review. 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 lumber and framing estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Upload your plans for a quote within one hour, and get 10% off your first estimate.
