We proudly serve a diverse range of professionals and businesses in the construction and woodworking industries, delivering accurate, reliable lumber takeoff and estimating solutions tailored to their specific needs. Our expertise supports:
Our comprehensive reports provide contractors with exact material quantities (LF, SF, LBS, CY, EA) including equipment and fixtures, with 5-10% waste factored in. We include labor man-hours, zip-code-based pricing, and necessary allowances.
Final bid summaries detail all costs: materials, labor, taxes, contingency (3-5%), escalation (2-4%), insurance, overhead (10-15%), and profit margin (8-12%). Deliverables feature:
Our detailed takeoff reports go beyond simple material counts, delivering actionable data that drives efficiency from blueprint to build. For every lumber project, we generate precise quantity surveys that break down all structural wood components including dimensional lumber, engineered beams, and sheet goods with exact specifications.
What sets our service apart is the contextual understanding we bring to each estimate. Rather than just providing raw numbers, we analyze project parameters to suggest material alternatives that could improve efficiency or reduce costs.
Our reports provide exact material quantities (LF, SF, LBS, CY, EA), waste calculations (5-10%), labor man-hours, zip-code-based pricing, and bid-ready summaries with costs like taxes, overhead (10-15%), and profit margins (8-12%).
We achieve 98%+ accuracy using industry-standard software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam) and cross-check against Illinois building codes. Projects include a free revision for design changes.
