Our lumber takeoff and framing estimating services in Queens give framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors a complete, itemized takeoff and estimate built from your plans and specifications, so you can bid with confidence and protect your margin.
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 Queens projects, we quantify blocking and backing, hold-downs and straps, joist hangers and connectors, fasteners, stair framing, dimensional lumber, engineered wood (LVL, PSL, I-joists), roof trusses, floor trusses, and plywood and OSB sheathing. Podium framing includes rod tie-down systems and shear-wall schedules by floor. Connectors are counted by type and corrosion rating. Lumber quantities are organized in Excel by area and system, with waste factors and units clearly stated.

Queens has airport terminal work at JFK, the Willets Point redevelopment, and dense mixed-use growth in Flushing and Jamaica, plus a large stock of one- to three-family homes. We prepare lumber and framing estimates for that full range of work, from Jamaica and Flushing mixed-use to smaller jobs in Bayside and Ridgewood.
Podium wood framing in Queens depends on continuous tie-down systems and shear walls. Our takeoffs separate rod runs, take-up devices, and sheathing nailing zones by floor. Near the water in the area, framing hardware is a big line item.
Our framing estimators use PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend to build each Queens takeoff, and they read the drawings with the NYC Construction Codes in mind, including nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. We also flag New York City-specific costs, including DOB NOW filing requirements, sidewalk sheds, and Local Law 97 energy upgrades where they appear in the scope. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every lumber and framing number can be checked.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Queens contractors professional lumber and framing estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in neighborhoods such as Astoria and Flushing. Labor assumptions for the lumber and framing scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. City-funded work in the five boroughs is priced at the NYC Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and much private work here is built with union crews. Send your lumber and framing drawings today for a fixed quote.
