Framing Estimating

Divisions 05 & 06. Wood and light-gauge steel framing with full stick-by-stick material lists. Nova Estimation quantifies framing scopes for subcontractors and general contractors bidding work anywhere in the United States, priced with your rates or ours.

What we quantify

  • Studs, plates, headers, blocking and bracing by length
  • Floor joists, rim board, trusses, hangers and hardware
  • Sheathing, subfloor and shear panel square footage with waste
  • Light-gauge track, studs, clips and deflection detail
  • Nails, screws, adhesives and fastener schedules

What you receive

  • Excel workbook with quantities, unit costs and totals you can edit
  • PDF bid summary ready to send to the GC or owner
  • Color-coded plan mark-ups so every quantity can be audited
  • Scope notes, exclusions, assumptions and an RFI list
  • Delivery in 24-48 hours on most projects

Priced or takeoff only

Send your cost book and labor rates and we apply them. If you do not have one, we price the work with current regional material and labor data adjusted to the project zip code. Either way you can see and change every unit cost.
