FAQ
What files do I need to provide to start?
Please provide a complete set of blueprints in PDF format. For an accurate lumber takeoff, I need the Architectural plans (for dimensions and openings) and the Structural plans (for joist sizes, headers, and roof framing details).
Do you work with the Imperial System (Feet/Inches)?
Yes, absolutely. All my takeoffs and estimates are performed natively using the Imperial System (Feet and Inches) to comply with US and Canadian construction standards and commercial lumber sizes.
What software do you use for the takeoff?
I use industry-standard software like Planswift and Bluebeam Revu. This allows me to provide high-precision digital measurements and color-coded markups so you can verify exactly what was counted.
Can you handle large-scale commercial projects?
Yes. While my packages are based on square footage for residential projects, I can handle large commercial framing takeoffs. Please message me directly with your project scope for a custom quote and a specialized timeline.
Do you include a waste factor in the takeoff?
Yes, I typically include a 5% to 10% waste factor depending on the material. However, I can adjust this percentage based on your specific company standards or project requirements.
