We provide detailed takeoffs and cost sheets are bid ready, giving you the accuracy you need to win more work and keep margins strong.
Accurate Types of All Lumber Takeoffs We Cover:
Framing Takeoff: Creating frames requires accurate dimension counts. We quantify studs, joists, beams, headers, trusses that form the structural backbone of walls, floors and roofs.
Steep-Slope Roofing Sheathing Takeoff: Covering your wood or walls is no easy job when it’s inaccurately measured. Our takeoffs cover plywood, OSB, panel sheets used for wall sheathing, roof decking and subfloors.
Decking Takeoff: These will usually comprise a timber substructure with decking boards laid on top. We measure all lumber for decks, joists, railings, posts, pergolas and exterior stairs.
Cabinets Takeoff: Most estimators measure wrong cabinets inside the kitchen or washroom. Cost 4 Estimating is quantifying cabinetry, built-in shelving and countertop support structures.
Panelling & Siding Takeoff: Panel siding protects homes from weather and other hazardous elements. Our team breaks down interior wood panelling, exterior siding, soffits and fascia boards line by line.

What Do We Quantify in Lumber Estimates?
In our lumber takeoff process, we quantify a range of wood plastic composites so that each timber, plywood, wood and material is categorised line by line by floor, section, elevation and material type. To enhance accuracy, we link each quantity with a plan reference.
