Frequently asked questions

What is a lumber framing takeoff?

A lumber takeoff is a detailed list of quantities of all the wood materials needed to construct a building’s structure. It includes a breakdown of lumber types, sizes, and quantities required for framing elements such as walls, floors, and roofs. This helps contractors, builders, and suppliers accurately budget, order materials, and minimize waste.

Do Hover Lumber Takeoffs only work with Hover projects?

No, a lumber takeoff does not need to be ordered in conjunction with another Hover project such as exteriors or blueprint. However, you can order both, and the outputs will be delivered separately.

What do I need to include in a blueprint set to submit a takeoff?

Required:

Floor plans with scale
