Why framing bids slip

Linear foot vs square foot pricing leaves money behind

Wall framing is linear feet, floors and roofs are square feet — and headers, beams, and posts are their own line items. Doing it all in one spreadsheet means slow and inconsistent bids.

Lumber prices move weekly

Studs, plates, sheathing — the price of every component changes faster than most cost lists. Outdated pricing eats margin or loses you the job.

Crew labor production varies by complexity

A simple rectangular ranch frames at a very different rate than a custom home with vaulted ceilings and dormers. One labor rate doesn't fit all.

How framers use The Blocks

Stud, plate, header, and sheathing takeoffs

Mark up the framing plan for studs (16'' or 24'' OC), plates, headers, cripples, sheathing, and blocking. Linear and square foot calcs adjust to your spec — no more counting sticks on paper.

Wall, floor, and roof framing assemblies

Build reusable wall, floor, and roof framing assemblies tailored to your local code (IRC / IBC) and your crew's spec. Pick the wall type, drop into the bid, lumber and labor calculate together.

Branded proposals with board-foot breakdown

Proposals show framing scope, lumber by board foot, and labor by linear foot — the breakdown your client (or GC) actually wants. Clean PDF, digital signatures, no copy-paste.
