Not all framing systems are created equal. We take off for different types of framing. Every type of framing system requires a unique approach. We ensure the right materials and quantities are used for every project.
Platform Framing
The most common type of framing used for houses is known as platform framing. In the case of platform framing, each floor is constructed before putting the walls together over the top of that floor. We specialize in takeoffs for platform framing. We measure and estimate every piece of lumber used for both the floors and the walls. This means you can order the appropriate number of materials and ensure that your costs are at a minimum.
Balloon Framing
Balloon framing is a very old style. Here, studs go directly from the foundation to the roof. This technique is applied much less nowadays, but you will always find it in some unique or historic constructions. We also perform balloon framing takeoffs. Our experts will measure all the necessary materials, including studs, sill plates, and rafters. We maintain a close eye on details to deliver your project in the best way.
