Lumber Estimating Services
Lumber is one of the most important structural elements used in any type of construction. In United States, most of the houses are lumber structured comprising of lumber beams, columns, joists etc. Besides that, wood is also a major part of millwork and carpentry. Bidwin Solutions possess a vast 7 years’ experience estimating lumber and millwork quantities and delivering accurate lumber estimates to lumber contractors, millwork contractors, material suppliers, builders, developers and architects.
Bidwin Solutions follow CSI estimating format while doing construction estimating. Lumber is a part of division 6 – Wood, Plastics and Composites – which can be further broken down into millwork, wood beams and columns, cabinetry etc.
Wood is a strong yet reliable material to be used as building structure. Calculating lumber quantities require practical experience and Bidwin Solutions has the ability to deliver precise lumber takeoffs. Professional lumber estimators at Bidwin Solutions prepare a detailed material takeoff with each and everything broken down to minor wood items.
Estimating the cost of a lumber project is tricky. The lumber estimator has to be experienced enough to calculate fabrication, install and equipment prices separately. Once calculated, they can be merged together to calculate a final budget of the particular project. Finally, the estimator can put an overhead and contingency according to client’s requirements. In most cases, overhead & profit is 20% and contingency is 5-10%.
