- We read the blueprints carefully
- Measure each area using a scale
- Count all required lumber like studs, beams, and joists
- Add a small waste factor to avoid shortages
2. Digital Takeoff
For larger or more complex jobs, we use software like PlanSwift and Bluebeam to speed up the process and reduce errors.

- We use software tools to trace and measure lumber needs
- The system helps us calculate totals quickly and accurately
- It’s easy to update if project changes happen
At Prime Estimation, we combine both methods when needed. Our goal is to deliver fast, accurate, and reliable lumber estimates—no matter the size of your project.
