Understanding Lumber Takeoff

Imagine you’re building your own home. You’ve got your plans as well as your idea, vision and your timeline, but how do you determine the amount of wood you’ll need?

That’s where Lumber Takeoff comes in.An lumber takeoff refers to a method of calculating the kinds of, sizes, and quantities of all the lumber needed to construct a project. It doesn’t matter if it’s a home built to order or commercial venture it will ensure that every 2×4 or sheet of plywood is counted.

Without it? You risk over-ordering, under-ordering, or wasting time and money.

The Importance of Lumber Takeoff in Construction

• Saves money by avoiding over-purchasing
