Our Lumber Takeoffs Process

We start by reviewing your blueprints and specs to understand the full project. Drawings are loaded into takeoff software and scaled for accurate measurements. We calculate all structural members, walls, floors, ceilings and roof framing. Standard lumber sizes 2×4, 2×6, 2×8, 2×10 and 2×12 are included to get the right quantities. All other materials like bracing, stair stringers, treads, risers and posts are measured. Standard post sizes 4×4, 6×6, 8×8 are included for accuracy.

Plywood, OSB and other paneling materials are measured based on wall, floor and roof dimensions. Standard sheet sizes 4×8 and 4×12 are used to get the exact quantities. All materials, sizes and quantities are listed in an organized format to the project plans. The final product is an optimized lumber takeoff ready to order and plan your project.
