What does a framing estimate include?
A framing estimate can include studs, tracks, wall areas, wood framing, shaft walls, ceiling framing, backing, blocking, bracing, connectors, accessories, labor, and marked-up drawings.
Can DEKR estimate both wood and metal framing?
Yes. DEKR provides takeoffs for metal stud framing, light gauge steel framing, wood framing, structural and non-structural systems, ceiling framing, and related support assemblies.
Can framing quantities be organized by wall type?
Yes. DEKR can organize takeoffs by wall type, floor, area, system, assembly, or another preferred bid format.
Can framing estimates be updated after addenda?
Yes. DEKR reviews revised drawings, addenda, RFIs, and updated wall details so quantities can be revised before bid submission.
What construction codes currently apply in Philadelphia?
For complete permit applications received on or after July 1, 2026, Philadelphia requires compliance with the adopted 2021 International Codes and applicable state and local amendments. Project-specific structural and framing requirements should be confirmed through the project's design professionals and Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections.
