Wood framing, carpentry and millwork estimating
Division 06 estimating for wood framing, lumber packages, trusses, sheathing, rough carpentry, finish carpentry and architectural millwork.
Wood framing estimates come down to the lumber list. We take off studs, plates, headers, joists, rafters, sheathing and hardware by size and length, so your package can be quoted by a lumber yard and built without running short.
Rough carpentry, blocking, finish carpentry and architectural casework are priced separately, with labor that reflects how each is actually installed.
