Framing estimate FAQ
How do I quote framing labor?
Many framers quote walls by the linear foot and floors or roofs by the square foot. The builder supports both units in one estimate.
Will my customer see my costs?
No. The proposal shows only customer prices, in the level of detail you choose. Internal costs, markup, margin, and notes never appear.
Do the suggested items include prices?
No. Suggestions help you remember what belongs in the bid. You enter your own costs, so nothing is priced with made-up numbers.
