Calculate board feet, stud counts, and hardware quantities in minutes. Tectonic reads structural plans and generates accurate framing takeoffs automatically.
Manual takeoffs waste your time and cost you money. Sound familiar?
Converting between linear feet, board feet, and piece counts requires constant math. Different lumber sizes have different conversion factors.
Headers, cripples, king studs, trimmers - framing a window or door opening requires multiple pieces that are easy to undercount.
Joists, beams, hangers, blocking - floor and roof framing involves dozens of different components with specific spacing and hardware requirements.
Hold-downs, straps, hangers, nails, screws - hardware adds up fast and is often underestimated in framing bids.
AI-powered takeoffs that work the way you think.
AI calculates studs, plates, headers, and opening components from floor plans. Handles different stud spacing (16" OC, 24" OC) and wall heights.
Quantify joists, beams, rim boards, and sheathing. Tectonic reads spans and spacing from structural plans for accurate material counts.
Get quantities in linear feet, board feet, or piece counts. Switch between formats depending on how you order and price materials.
Automatically count joist hangers, hold-downs, straps, and other structural hardware based on your framing configuration.
Everything you need to know about framing estimating with Tectonic.
Tectonic calculates stud counts based on wall lengths and specified spacing (16" OC or 24" OC). It applies the correct quantity for each wall configuration.
Yes. Tectonic converts all lumber quantities to board feet for purchasing, while also providing linear foot and piece counts for field and labor calculations.
Absolutely. Tectonic handles LVL, I-joists, glulam beams, and other engineered lumber products. Quantities are separated from dimensional lumber for pricing.
Tectonic measures wall and roof areas, then calculates sheathing sheet counts based on your specified panel size (4x8, 4x9, 4x10) with appropriate waste factors.
Tectonic provides quantities by lumber size and length. While not a full cut optimization tool, it gives you the data needed for efficient material ordering.
