Plano's Legacy West corporate campuses and its aging retail centers being redeveloped bring a steady mix of office fit-outs and mixed-use projects. Our framing estimators work with framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors across Plano, pricing jobs tied to corporate headquarters campuses at Legacy, retail and mixed-use redevelopment, and medical office buildings.
Plano's production volume rewards repeatable lumber takeoffs, and we deliver them by plan. On the area's active soils, framing often sits on structural floors, and our takeoffs include those systems.
Our framing estimators use PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend to build each Plano takeoff, and they read the drawings with the IBC and IRC editions adopted by Plano in mind, including nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every lumber and framing number can be checked.
