If you’re building a home, there’s no way around it – you need a frame lumber takeoff estimate. You’ll need it so that you can request bids from your lumber companies, establish your budget for your lumber, and ultimately so that you can buy the lumber that your framer will use during construction.
In this training:
- I’ll break down what a frame lumber takeoff is and what it’s not.
- You’ll hear about the two types of takeoffs and how you can use them as you build your home.
- I’ll explain the five different options for getting a takeoff estimate done.
- I’ll give you tips on how to tell a good takeoff from one that may miss the mark.
- I’ll show you how to think about your frame lumber takeoff and choose the best process for you and your home.
Before we begin, you need to know that I’ve done more takeoffs in my career than I care to count – literally thousands. In that time, I’ve heard a lot of feedback from clients regarding what has worked for them in their homebuilding businesses as well as what hasn’t. This training will help you understand the ways that you can get a takeoff, so that you can make an informed decision.
