Materials

This is all the conventional framing material, sheathing, house wrap, and tape from the foundation through the roof sheathing.  If it is called out on the plans, we will account for it.  If something is not called out on the plans and necessary, we will give you our best-educated guess and call it out in our notes for you to confirm with your client.  

When it comes to Ijoist, unless told otherwise, we assume it is taken care of by your supplier.  We also assume any EWP beam that is flush in that system is called out by them and will be marked on our color-coded images as “Assumed By Other”.  

When it comes to floor and roof trusses, again we assume it is taken care of by your vendor, but any material needed to support said trusses will be accounted for by us.

This is all the hardware that is called out on the plans. Hardware that is embedded into the foundation is not picked up unless instructed by you. If you are giving us several jobs a week to do, we will work with you to develop a set of policies to follow to get you the proper hardware you need on each job.  

For example, if you have a post on a deck, if you tell us what you want done for post caps and bases in each scenario, we can provide them to you no matter what the plans say.  

Same thing for say roof rafters so we can account for the proper Simpson/MiTek products at the ridge, hip, ledger and then at the wall or beam.  Any Simpson/MiTek products that are associated with the ijoist or truss systems, will be assumed to be accounted for by that vendor.

This package includes siding & cornice, porch ceiling material, soffit, handrails, gable vents, specialty porch columns, corbels, pergolas, caulking, and flashing.

Baseboard, door casing, window casing, cased openings, crown moldings, chair rails, wainscot, plinth blocks, interior columns,  coffered ceilings, and closet rods/shelves.

GWB, Greenboard, Type X, Type C, etc…, mud, screws, corner bead, and tape.

Shingles, starter shingles, hip/ridge shingles, ridge vent, water & ice, flashing, felt, and drip edge.

We can give you square footage or bat counts. For spray foam or blown insulation, we provide square footage.

We provide you as much information as you require and in the order you want it. Each time we start a new job, we send out a sample door and window for you to approve the verbiage is correct and in order.

We provide the square footage for each type of floor finish.

This includes planks and handrails.

While these are the construction materials we currently provide takeoff estimates for, our unparalleled level of Customer Service means we are always looking to expand the range of services that our expert technicians can perform. If there's something you need that you're not seeing on this list, CE will work with you to develop a process that meets your needs.
