For General Contractors, Framing Contractors & Lumber Suppliers
Projects in the Route 22 corridor, Vauxhall, and across Union County move quickly, and so does our team. We provide lumber takeoff and framing estimating services in Union, NJ, 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 Union lumber and framing takeoff from our team lists 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. Quantities are grouped the way your lumber and framing crews install the work, which makes pricing labor as easy as pricing material.

Union Township's Route 22 corridor, Kean University, and redevelopment around Union Center keep commercial and mid-rise residential bids moving. We prepare lumber and framing estimates for that full range of work, from transit-oriented housing near Union Station to smaller jobs in Union Center and the Route 22 corridor.
Cold-climate walls in Union use deeper studs and exterior insulation, so our lumber takeoffs follow the specified assembly. Framing in older local homes means sistering joists, replacing rot, adding headers for new openings, and framing additions onto out-of-square structures.
Each takeoff is built in PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and Buildertrend from your current plan set and checked against the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), including nailing schedules, connector requirements, shear walls, and energy-code wall assemblies. Lumber quantities are organized by area, floor, and system to match how Union contractors actually bid.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Union 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 Elizabeth and Kenilworth. Public jobs in New Jersey follow the state Prevailing Wage Act, and redevelopment projects that receive public assistance often do too. Your lumber and framing estimate can be built on union, prevailing, or open-shop labor, whichever the bid requires. Get a fixed quote for your next Union bid within about an hour.
