Why Choose Estimating Canada
Built For Contractors Who Need It Right
Lumber takeoff and estimating services for Canadian builders
A lumber takeoff is the list the supplier prices and the crew builds from. If it is too short, the job stalls waiting for a second truck, and if it is too long, the yard fills up with material that gets charged to the job.
We prepare lumber takeoffs for houses, townhomes and multi-unit buildings, grouped by floor and by member so the supplier and the crew can read them.
| What we count and price
| Canadian lumber detail
| An order list you can use
The list is grouped by floor and by size, with waste shown separately, so the yard can price it quickly and the crew can check the delivery against it. Waste is normally in the 5 to 10% range.
| Timing
Small lumber takeoffs are normally ready in about 4 to 6 hours and larger projects in 6 to 48 hours, depending on size and urgency.
Frequently asked questions
