For General Contractors, Framing Contractors & Lumber Suppliers
Contractors bidding work tied to state government office construction need numbers they can defend. Remote Estimation provides lumber takeoff and framing estimating services in Trenton, NJ, 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.
Each Trenton estimate includes hold-downs and straps, joist hangers and connectors, fasteners, stair framing, dimensional lumber, engineered wood (LVL, PSL, I-joists), roof trusses, floor trusses, plywood and OSB sheathing, and wall plates and studs. Energy-code wall assemblies are followed exactly. Repair framing is separated from new framing. You get itemized lumber and framing counts and measurements tied to sheet numbers, so your team can verify any line in minutes.

Trenton's work centers on State of New Jersey offices, school construction, and historic rehabilitation, which usually means public bidding and prevailing-wage pricing. For framing contractors, lumber yards, and general contractors, that makes accurate lumber and framing quantities on state government office construction and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
Energy-code requirements in Trenton 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. Renovation framing in the area is labor-heavy, so our takeoffs separate structural repairs, new openings, and additions.
Code requirements change quantities, so our framing estimators review every Trenton 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 Trenton 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 Hamilton and Ewing. We can price lumber and framing labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. Public jobs in New Jersey follow the state Prevailing Wage Act, and redevelopment projects that receive public assistance often do too.
