Calibration note: 1:50 and 1:100 architectural and structural drawings are scaled to 25 mm masonry tolerances and 100 mm thermal zones, isolating 5 percent to 10 percent wastage from net quantities.

What is measured in every Hertfordshire pack?

Modern UK framing spans traditional hand-cut roofs on loft conversions through off-site timber frame housing cassettes and multi-storey Metsec/SFS infill frames. We count every sole plate, stud, lintel, hip rafter, breather membrane, and galvanised shoe cleanly.

  • Cut roofs list ridge boards, valleys, hips, rafters, purlins, ceiling joists, and jack rafters by actual pitched slope length + seat cut.
  • SFS infill packs capture track metres, vertical C-studs at centres, deflection head anchors, and EPDM thermal breaks.

Which drawings and UK project types are supported?

  • Roof framing plans & loft sections
  • Structural engineer timber/SFS layouts
  • Facade wind-load & floor-edge drawings

Framing Estimating FAQs for Hertfordshire

What does a Hertfordshire framing estimate include?

Every workbook provides net measured quantities in m, m2, nr, colour-coded PDF drawing mark-ups, separated material vs labour lines, and clarifications covering Hertfordshire site requirements.

Do cut-roof takeoffs measure sloped hip/valley geometry rather than flat plan projections?

Yes. Slope pitch trigonometry (run x sec(pitch)) and actual hip/valley compound lengths are calculated so timbers are never ordered short.

Do you include galvanized joist hangers, holding-down straps, and birdsmouth fixings?

Yes. Joist hangers, lateral restraint straps, truss clips, and wall-plate holding-down bolts are counted.
