Start from model-derived timber quantities instead of re-entering every member in a cost sheet.

Early timber quantities and cost estimates from one project
Use the timber quantities already produced by the structural model, add the stock lengths and prices relevant to your supplier, and build an early material-cost view without maintaining a disconnected estimate.
What this changes in your workflow
Use your own stock lengths and prices so the estimate reflects the purchasing context you know.
See how design revisions affect timber demand and estimated material cost in the same project.
From idea to usable project information
- 01
Review the model-derived timber list and confirm which members belong in the estimate.
- 02
Enter the stock lengths, prices and waste assumptions available for the project.
- 03
Compare the estimated material total as the structural design changes.
Read the quantities behind the total
The verified house example contains 615 pieces, including 4 soffit panels.
Its displayed totals are 1,411.52 m (≈ 4,630.97 ft) of length and 13.798 m³ (≈ 487.27 ft³) of volume.
These values describe the saved example checked on 2026-09-18. They provide a starting point for material planning.
Before you request a quote, check the material type, section, length and quantity of each group. Use the same scope when you compare prices.
Price a group with known dimensions
The example includes a group of 99 studs. Each stud is 2865 mm (≈ 9′ 4.8″) long. Its section is 45 × 195 mm (≈ 1.77 × 7.68 in).
Enter the dimensions and quantity in the public timber calculator. Add a supplier price with its correct pricing unit.
Review any waste allowance separately. Available stock lengths, cuts and supplier conditions can change the quantity you buy.
The calculator also accepts imperial inputs. The accompanying guide explains the volume, weight and cost inputs.
Keep the estimate scope clear
Record which materials and costs the estimate includes. Check delivery, tax, labour and connectors separately when you prepare the project budget.
Supplier prices and available stock can change. Review the material groups again after a design change.
The complete cut-list export for this house remains unavailable until further checks are complete. The displayed quantities are a planning example.

FrameVerk supports design and planning. Final construction decisions still require the appropriate engineer, permits and professional checks.
