FRAMING & CARPENTRY — REMOTE ESTIMATOR STARTER PACK
Estimators.io | October 26, 2026

1. FIRST-WEEK CHECKLIST
Day 1: Confirm role, scope, region, time zone, software access and named reviewer. Record drawing/specification revisions and document permissions.
Day 2: Read architectural and structural plans, framing schedules, sections and connection details. Write a scope map and questions log before measuring.
Day 3: Group framing by floor, wall and roof. Trace member sizes and spacing to the drawings. Separate sheathing, blocking, hardware and engineered members rather than burying them in a lumber total.
Day 4: Add quoted or approved pricing, source dates, labour basis, assumptions and exclusions. Review Confirm engineered-product quotes, connector scope, temporary works, lifting access and waste assumptions. Carry unresolved structural information as a question rather than designing a member.
Day 5: Reconcile member counts to spacing, review openings and blocking, and confirm the beam and hardware boundaries against the scope sheet.

2. SAMPLE ASSIGNMENT
A small framed addition with a window change and an engineered beam supplied by others. Use a training set or authorised redacted drawings. Submit marked plans, a quantity workbook, assumptions, exclusions, RFIs and a revision summary. No invented rates or client claims.

3. SCOPE CHECKLIST
Document/revision | Included assembly or system | Quantity basis | Drawing reference | Interface owner | Exclusion | Open question | Reviewer
