Wall Framing
Studs, plates, and headers from wall layouts and details.
Material / Supplier Takeoffs
Lumber Takeoff Services
Framing and lumber material lists built from plans—so suppliers and builders can review board footage and counts without rebuilding every wall and floor stack.
Overview
Lumber Takeoffs for Framing Packages
Lumber takeoffs translate framing plans into member counts, board footage, and sheathing areas that yards and builders actually order against.
Wall plates, studs, joists, rafters, and sheathing each need their own path from the drawings. Keeping those categories separate makes purchasing reviews faster.
