Common Cost Drivers in Framing Construction
Framing costs are affected by more than simple wall length. Wall heights, stud gauge, spacing, openings, fire-rated assemblies, blocking, ceiling conditions, and project phasing can all change labor and material needs. DEKR identifies these cost drivers during takeoff so your bid reflects the real project scope.
