Why framing and foundation
We take off every trade, but these two are where an engineer makes the biggest difference.
They are the structural trades
Framing and foundation quantities come off the structural drawings: shear wall and hold-down schedules, headers and beams, footings, stem walls and rebar. Reading those right is engineering work, and it is the work Khoi does every day.
Read with a plan checker's eye
Khoi spent years checking plans for approval. He knows where a structural set leaves things unsaid: the detail on another page, the general note that overrides the plan, the hold-down that only shows up in the schedule.
Where a miss costs the most
Lumber and concrete are the first big orders on a house. A short footing or a missed hold-down shows up in the field, on the crew's time. A takeoff checked by an engineer catches it on paper.
Framing, foundation, or every trade at once
Every one of these is measured on the drawings by our team and checked by Khoi before it reaches you. Take our two specialties, or send the set once and get every trade together.
Framing takeoff
Every framing member counted and listed by assembly: studs, plates, headers, beams, joists, rafters, trusses, sheathing and hardware.
