Estimator QS Timber Frame Take-Off Needed Unit 1 only
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
I have a full set of detailed plans for Unit 1 of a residential timber-frame build and now need a precise material take-off covering both the structural timber and every piece of associated hardware.
Your task is to study the supplied drawings and deliver a clear, itemised schedule that tells me exactly what to order. I’m expecting:
• A spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets) that lists each timber member by drawing reference, size, grade, length and quantity, with subtotals and a final summary.
• A companion list of all hardware—bolts, screws, hangers, brackets and any specialty connectors—showing counts, specifications and manufacturer codes where noted on the plans.
• Brief notes flagging any ambiguities or clashes you spot while taking off.
Feel free to use PlanSwift, Bluebeam, AutoCAD or your preferred take-off software; accuracy is what matters most. If you can turn this around quickly while keeping everything traceable back to the sheet and detail number, that’s exactly what I’m after.
