Framing Contractors
Order once. Build once.
Our AI reads the plans and builds the frame in software — every member, every connection. We count each element, and an estimator checks the work, so what you order is what the job needs.
See the output before you send real work.
Your bid depends on the count being right.
Framing contractors can't afford slow, messy, or inconsistent take-offs. Material misses eat margin. Slow estimates cost jobs. Benchmark gives framing crews cleaner quantities and mark-ups they can review before bidding or ordering.
- Take-offs take too much time, especially when bids are tight
- Material misses hurt profit on every job
- Bids need to move faster to win work
- Estimating depends on one overloaded person, usually the owner
- Plans are hard to interpret quickly when you're juggling crews
- You need reviewable quantities you can actually trust
Deliverables
Lumber take-offs with mark-ups your crew can check
Every Benchmark take-off is AI-built and estimator-verified, with mark-ups so your team can see what was counted, what was excluded, and how the take-off was built. That makes the output easier to review and easier to trust.
- Framing material take-offs
- Lumber quantities (sticks, sheathing, headers, plates, etc.)
- Plan mark-ups showing what was counted
- Scope notes
- Reviewable spreadsheet output
- Division 06 support (primary focus for framing)
- Related Division 07 and 08 support where applicable

Common questions
Do you focus on framing material specifically?
Yes, that's Division 06 work, and it's what most framing contractors send us. We can also handle Division 07 and 08 where it's relevant to your scope.
How fast do I get the take-off back?
Turnaround is confirmed per job at quote time. Most plans are delivered within 48–72 hours. We set expectations clearly so you can plan your bid timeline.
I'm a small crew. Is this overkill?
No. A lot of one and two-person operations use Benchmark specifically so the owner stops doing take-offs after hours.
What does a typical framing take-off cost?
Pricing depends on project type, square footage, and complexity. A typical single-family plan is in the low hundreds. Use the calculator on the pricing page to ballpark your jobs. Your first takeoff is free, so you can judge the output before you spend anything.
What if your count is wrong?
Mark-ups show exactly what was counted, so you can review and adjust before you bid or order. That's the whole point of reviewable output.
