LUMBER TAKEOFF & ESTIMATE
Demolition estimate and takeoff is a process of estimating the cost of removing existing structuAVres or buildings. It involves identifying the materials and equipment needed for the demolition work and determining the overall cost of the project.
The items that must be estimated under the demolition division may vary depending on the specific requirements of the project, but typically include:
- Rough Carpentry: This includes the cost of framing work, such as the cost of lumber, hardware, and labor required for walls, roofs, and floors.
- Finish Carpentry: This includes the cost of interior and exterior finish work, such as the cost of millwork, trim, cabinetry, and hardware, as well as labor required for installation.
- Architectural Woodwork: This includes the cost of custom millwork, such as the cost of cabinets, built-in shelving, and trim, as well as the labor required for fabrication and installation.
- Plastic Fabrications: This includes the cost of plastic materials, such as the cost of sheet goods and laminates, as well as the cost of labor required for fabrication and installation.
- Composite Fabrications: This includes the cost of composite materials, such as the cost of engineered wood products and other composite materials, as well as the cost of labor required for fabrication and installation.
- Wood Treatment: This includes the cost of treating lumber and other wood products for durability and resistance to pests and decay.
- Overhead and Profit: This includes the cost of overhead expenses, such as insurance and rent, as well as any profit margin included in the estimate.
Overall, estimating the cost of Division-06 (Wood, Plastics, and Composites) work requires a thorough understanding of the project’s specific requirements and the materials and labor needed to complete the job. It requires expertise in the field of carpentry and woodworking, as well as knowledge of the latest tools and technology used in the industry.
