Our Story
Southampton Lumber and Framing Cost Estimates Your Bids Can Rely On
The Town of Southampton spans oceanfront estates, Hampton Bays workforce housing, and village retail, all in a wind-borne-debris and coastal flood zone. We prepare lumber and framing estimates for that full range of work, from coastal resilience projects to smaller jobs in Southampton Village and the Meadow Lane oceanfront.
Southampton's wind design adds uplift connectors, thicker sheathing, tighter nailing, and gable-end bracing. We count every strap and calculate sheathing by nailing zone. Cold-climate walls in the area use deeper studs and exterior insulation, so our lumber takeoffs follow the specified assembly.
Code requirements change quantities, so our framing estimators review every Southampton drawing set against the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code, 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.
Remote Estimation has prepared estimates on more than 5,000 projects for 500+ contractors, and that experience goes into every Southampton lumber and framing bid we touch. We can price lumber and framing labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. On public work in New York, rates come from the State Department of Labor's prevailing wage schedules, and some privately built projects with significant public funding now fall under them too. Your first lumber and framing estimate is 10% off.
