Framing is a distinct trade scope. Sky Estimates produces wood and light-gauge metal framing quantities focused on stud counts, top and bottom plates, sheathing, floor joists, headers, and order-ready lumber lists for residential and light commercial work.
Counts are organized by floor, wall type, and material grade from PDF plans and structural sheets. Assumptions are documented and drawing gaps are flagged before quantities are finalized.
Custom homes, townhomes, and commercial build-outs need framing lists that lumber yards and field crews can order from directly. Accurate framing quantities protect margin and reduce on-site waste.
Our framing estimators understand stud spacing, plate layouts, sheathing coverage, floor joist systems, roof framing, and light-gauge metal stud walls. This is framing trade work, not a full-building quantity count across every division.
Deliverables include lumber lists, header schedules, and metal stud counts formatted for your yard order workflow, with coordination notes where structural or MEP drawings affect framing scope.
