ACON Engineering offers precise and reliable carpentry estimating services, utilizing advanced software like ProEst, Planswift, and Bluebeam to deliver accurate material takeoffs and cost estimates. Our expert team thoroughly reviews your plans, ensuring all carpentry components, including framing, cabinetry, doors, windows, and trim, are meticulously quantified. We provide detailed breakdowns, helping you manage costs, streamline procurement, and optimize project timelines. With a focus on quality and efficiency, ACON Engineering ensures your carpentry projects are completed on budget and on schedule.
OUR caprentry ESTIMATION PROCESS
For the preparation of carpentry estimates, the ACON Engineering team thoroughly reviews the provided drawings and specifications, focusing on plan, elevation, and section views to define the full scope of carpentry work.
We utilize advanced carpentry takeoff software such as PlanSwift and Bluebeam to measure quantities with precision, using the point-and-click method for accuracy. All quantities are then imported into EXCEL spreadsheets, organized by MasterFormat, and follow CSI codes as specified in the drawings.
Our carpentry estimating spreadsheet includes a detailed breakdown of the following quantities:
Carpentry Materials: A comprehensive list of all carpentry components, including lumber, plywood, MDF, trim, beams, doors, windows, and cabinetry. We account for various sizes, grades, and materials required for framing, finishes, and interior carpentry elements.
Openings: Deductions for doors, windows, and other penetrations, ensuring precise material allocation.
Carpentry Systems: Estimation of various systems such as wall framing, floor systems, ceiling framing, and specialized wood structures.
Fasteners and Connectors: A breakdown of nails, screws, brackets, and other connectors required to secure carpentry elements, ensuring structural integrity.
Sheathing and Subflooring: The quantity of plywood, OSB, and other sheathing materials for floors, walls, and roofs.
Trim and Finish Carpentry: Estimation of all molding, baseboards, wainscoting, and other finish carpentry elements.
Labor Costs & Man-Hours: We estimate labor hours for each carpentry task, considering the complexity of design and material choices. This includes transportation, permits, taxes, and additional site preparation or restoration costs.
Cost Estimates: Material, equipment, and labor costs are calculated using RSMeans and our extensive construction cost database, providing accurate, zip-code-based pricing for labor and materials.
Contingency: We factor in contingency funds to manage unforeseen costs, potential project delays, and price fluctuations in materials.
Finally, a senior estimator performs a comprehensive review to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the carpentry estimate, delivering a precise and reliable solution for our clients.
Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions/concerns.
