Carpentry & Wood Estimating
Board-foot and piece-count SPF framing, engineered LVL and I-joists, roof trusses, connectors, mass timber, and AWMAC-grade architectural millwork and cabinetry takeoffs.
Technical Takeoff Scope & Engineering Overview
Framing and millwork subtrades need clean lumber lists by size and length, sheathing counts, hold-downs and connectors, plus architectural woodwork by linear foot. We take off to NBC Part 9 and CSA O86, using 2x6 exterior walls for Canadian energy codes, and price casework to AWMAC quality standards.
Governing Canadian Codes & Specifications
- National Building Code Part 9
- CSA O86 engineering design in wood
- NLGA lumber grading
- AWMAC architectural woodwork standards
