Lumber Yards & Building Supply
Quote more jobs. Lose fewer to the guy who quoted first.
Our AI reads the plans and builds the structure — we count each element, and an estimator checks the work. Clean quantities and mark-ups back in 48–72 hours, and your sales team gets back to selling.
See the output before you send real work.
Your sales team should be selling, not stuck counting studs.
When salespeople have to perform take-offs, quote volume suffers. When estimators are backed up, bids go out late. Benchmark gives your yard flexible estimating capacity without adding another full-time estimator or forcing a new software rollout on your team.
- Salespeople spend too much time on take-offs instead of selling
- Estimators are backed up and bids are going out late
- Good estimating labor is hard to hire and harder to keep
- Customers expect faster quote turnaround every year
- Management wants more quoting capacity without more headcount
- Busy seasons hit and there's no flex in the estimating bench
Deliverables
Clean take-offs your team can review and use
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.
- Lumber and material take-offs
- Plan mark-ups showing what was counted
- Scope notes
- Reviewable spreadsheet output
- Division 06, 07, and 08 estimating support
- Optional SKU matching for recurring customers

Common questions
Can Benchmark match our SKUs?
Yes, for recurring customers we can work with your SKU list. We'll confirm fit and scope before any work starts.
How fast is turnaround?
We confirm turnaround per job at quote time. Most residential plans are delivered within 48–72 hours. We'll set expectations clearly before you commit.
How does pricing work?
Pay per plan, no subscription. Pricing depends on project type, square footage, and complexity. Use the calculator on the pricing page to ballpark your jobs, or send your first plan free and judge the output on real work.
What if our salespeople still want to be involved?
They can be. Benchmark provides reviewable mark-ups so your team can check the count, adjust quantities, and quote with the supplier relationship intact.
Does this replace our estimating team?
No. It adds capacity. Most yards use Benchmark to handle overflow, free up senior estimators for complex jobs, and keep salespeople selling.
