For General Contractors, Framing Contractors & Lumber Suppliers
Contractors bidding work tied to Princeton University campus expansion need numbers they can defend. Remote Estimation provides lumber takeoff and framing estimating services in Princeton, 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.
Here is what we measure on a typical Princeton lumber and framing job: wall plates and studs, 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), and roof trusses. Energy-code wall assemblies are followed exactly. Repair framing is separated from new framing. Each lumber and framing line carries its unit of measure and sheet reference, so pricing and verification are straightforward.

Princeton's university building program and the Route 1 research corridor produce some of New Jersey's most detailed institutional and lab bids. We prepare lumber and framing estimates for that full range of work, from high-end residential to smaller jobs in Downtown and Nassau Street and the Princeton University campus.
Cold-climate walls in Princeton use deeper studs and exterior insulation, so our lumber takeoffs follow the specified assembly. Renovation framing in the area is labor-heavy, so our takeoffs separate structural repairs, new openings, and additions.
Under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), small details add up: nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. We catch them during the lumber and framing takeoff instead of after the award. Measurements are done in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend and summarized in Excel for your Princeton bid.
More than 500 contractors nationwide use our lumber and framing and construction estimating services to bid more work with fewer people. For Princeton firms, that means accurate lumber and framing numbers in 24 to 72 hours, delivered by estimators who understand Mercer County. 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.
