ALL TRADES / FRAMING

Quotrr for framing contractors

Additions, garages and custom frames are five-figure packages, and the GC is usually bidding three crews off the same set of plans. Takeoffs eat your nights and a lumber number goes stale in a week, so the slow bid is the dead bid.

From walkthrough to quote

You walk the site, you talk the job into your phone before you pull off the lot, and Quinn drafts the proposal. Here is what that sounds like on a room addition.

YOUR VOICE NOTE, 50 SECONDS IN THE TRUCK

"Walked the Kowalski addition on Brackett Road. Single-story bump-out off the back, 16 by 24, call it 384 square feet, slab is already poured by the GC. 2x6 exterior walls at 16 on center, double top plate, two 4-foot sliders and three windows, so five headers, engineered per plan. Roof ties into the existing ridge, 4 and 12 pitch, we stick-frame the tie-in. Sheathing is half-inch CDX on the walls, 5/8 on the roof, call it 42 sheets all in. Hangers and hold-downs per the hardware schedule. Call it a week with a three-man crew, lumber quoted off this week's sheet."

WHAT QUINN DRAFTS, BETTER TIER SHOWN
Layout, plates and anchor bolts on existing slab~$800
Exterior wall framing, 2x6 at 16 in OC, approx. 80 lineal ft of wall~$6,800
Engineered headers, hangers and hold-downs per plan~$1,900
Roof framing and stick-framed ridge tie-in, 4:12 pitch~$5,200
Wall and roof sheathing, approx. 42 sheets CDX~$2,600
Final nail-off and framing inspection walk~$600

Drafted as good-better-best with the standard package, a package with full backing and blocking for cabinets and wall mounts, and a premium package with engineered studs on the tall walls across the tiers, plus attic storage decking and a covered patio frame as live add-ons. Numbers above are example placeholders. You set your own pricing and approve every line before it goes out.

What eats your evenings

Bids go stale while lumber moves.

You walk the site Monday and the bid goes out Friday, priced off a lumber sheet that already changed. The takeoff was in your head the whole time.

KILLED BY: VOICE-NOTE QUOTING. THE BID DRAFTS ITSELF THE DAY YOU WALK THE SITE.
The GC shops your number and goes dark.

Your bid sits in an inbox next to two others for three weeks. You have no idea if it was opened, forwarded or beaten, so you find out when the job starts without you.

KILLED BY: SEVEN-TOUCH FOLLOW-UP THAT RUNS ITSELF AND PINGS YOU ON EVERY OPEN.
A handshake start date is not a commitment.

You block two weeks for a crew on a verbal yes, then the job slips and your guys stand around. A signature and money down is the only schedule that holds.

KILLED BY: E-SIGN PLUS DEPOSIT ON THE SAME PAGE THE CUSTOMER READS.
