For General Contractors, Framing Contractors & Lumber Suppliers
Projects in the Pearl District, Stone Oak, and across Bexar County move quickly, and so does our team. We provide lumber takeoff and framing estimating services in San Antonio, TX, giving framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors itemized lumber and framing takeoffs and cost estimates in 24 to 72 hours without adding estimating staff.
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.
A San Antonio lumber and framing takeoff from our team lists stair framing, dimensional lumber, engineered wood (LVL, PSL, I-joists), roof trusses, floor trusses, plywood and OSB sheathing, wall plates and studs, headers and beams, blocking and backing, and hold-downs and straps. Lumber packages are organized by plan, elevation, and option. Treated lumber is listed separately. Quantities are grouped the way your lumber and framing crews install the work, which makes pricing labor as easy as pricing material.

San Antonio combines military, medical, and manufacturing work with steady single-family growth on the north and west sides, and much of it is built on caliche and expansive clay. Our framing estimators work with framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors across San Antonio, pricing jobs tied to Joint Base San Antonio facilities, the South Texas Medical Center, and manufacturing growth on the city's south side.
San Antonio's production volume rewards repeatable lumber takeoffs, and we deliver them by plan. In humid San Antonio, treated framing is used in more locations, and our takeoffs track it.
Our framing estimators use PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend to build each San Antonio takeoff, and they read the drawings with the IBC and IRC editions adopted by San Antonio 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.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives San Antonio 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 New Braunfels and Schertz.
