Wood, Plastics & Composites Estimating
Rough carpentry framing counts plus finish carpentry and millwork — the division that spans structure and finish work.
What We Take Off
- Framing lumber and sheathing
- Finish carpentry and trim
- Architectural woodwork and millwork
- Structural insulated panels
- Composite decking and railing
- Rough hardware and fasteners
Works from whatever plans you have
Traditional 2D CAD drawings and PDF plan sets, or 3D BIM models — wood, plastics & composites quantities are taken off directly from your source files, cross-checked against the model where one exists, and delivered in the same itemized format either way.
Need the drawings themselves, not just a takeoff from them? See Drawing & Engineering Services.
Where wood, plastics & composites estimates commonly go wrong
Engineered lumber (LVL, glulam, I-joists) prices very differently from dimensional lumber — a takeoff that treats them the same misses real cost swings.
