Our Story
Lumber and Framing Takeoff & Estimating Built for Rockaway Contractors
The Rockaway area mixes mall-area commercial redevelopment, I-80 light industrial buildings, and lake-community homes on rocky North Jersey lots. Our framing estimators work with framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors across Rockaway, pricing jobs tied to Rockaway Townsquare redevelopment, lake-community homes, and light industrial along Route 80.
Energy-code requirements in Rockaway 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.
Code requirements change quantities, so our framing estimators review every Rockaway drawing set against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), paying attention to nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. The takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Rockaway contractors professional lumber and framing estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in nearby Denville and Dover. Labor assumptions for the lumber and framing scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. In New Jersey, NJDOL publishes the prevailing wage rates used on public works and many publicly assisted redevelopment jobs.
