Good questions.
Who uses this service?
Framing subcontractors, homebuilders, general contractors and owners pricing wood-frame projects.
Do you price truss design?
We price trusses from the design package or the supplier's quote. Design is by the truss manufacturer.
Can I get quantities only?
Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.
What should I send?
Floor and roof plans, wall sections, structural notes and framing plans, truss layouts if available, Division 06 specifications and addenda.
