For General Contractors, Framing Contractors & Lumber Suppliers
Contractors bidding work tied to North Shore waterfront redevelopment need numbers they can defend. Remote Estimation provides lumber takeoff and framing estimating services in Staten Island, NY, 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 Staten Island lumber and framing job: 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. Connectors are counted by type and corrosion rating. Energy-code wall assemblies are followed exactly. Each lumber and framing line carries its unit of measure and sheet reference, so pricing and verification are straightforward.

Staten Island is NYC's most suburban borough: detached and semi-detached homes, North Shore waterfront redevelopment, and post-Sandy elevations on the East Shore. That's the market we estimate for every day, building lumber and framing takeoffs for projects from North Shore waterfront redevelopment to post-Sandy resiliency upgrades.
Coastal framing around Staten Island relies on a continuous load path: hurricane straps, hold-downs, and corrosion-rated connectors on every rafter, stud, and sill. We count connectors by type and finish, often hot-dip galvanized or stainless. Energy-code requirements in the area often push framing to 2×6 walls, advanced framing, or continuous exterior insulation, which changes stud counts, sheathing, and fasteners.
Code requirements change quantities, so our framing estimators review every Staten Island drawing set against the NYC Construction Codes, paying attention to nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. New York City costs such as DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, hoisting, and Local Law 97 upgrades are called out separately when they apply. The takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend and delivered as an Excel workbook with color-coded, marked-up plans.
Hiring an in-house lumber and framing estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Staten Island with fast, itemized lumber and framing estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve neighborhoods such as New Dorp and Stapleton as well. We can price lumber and framing labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. Union crews and Comptroller prevailing wage rates shape most New York City budgets, so the labor basis matters as much as the quantities.

Every lumber and framing estimate is prepared remotely, so you can send drawings from the jobsite or the office. Citywide requirements are covered on our New York City page.
