Our Story
Who We Are
Lumber Estimating Services was founded in 2018 by construction estimating professionals who saw contractors consistently losing bids and overordering materials because of inaccurate lumber counts. We built a remote estimating service specifically designed for U.S. framing contractors, GCs, and builders — with state-specific code knowledge, regional pricing, and fast turnaround at its core.
