Early timber material planning
Timber Frame Lumber Cost Estimator
FrameVerk uses the timber quantities from the structural model for an early lumber cost estimate. You add the prices and stock lengths that apply to your supplier.
What should a lumber cost estimate include?
An early estimate needs model quantities, supplier prices, stock lengths, and a clear waste setting. FrameVerk keeps these inputs with the current project.

Enter supplier prices and stock lengths for the purchasing context you know.
Compare the estimated lumber total after you change the structural design.
How the cost workflow works
- 01
Review the timber pieces and confirm which members belong in the estimate.
- 02
Set the available stock lengths, unit prices, and waste assumptions.
- 03
Review the estimated material total and update the inputs when supplier data changes.
Timber frame lumber cost questions
Does FrameVerk supply lumber prices?
No. You enter the current prices that apply to your supplier, location, and project.
Does the estimate update with the model?
Yes. The estimate starts from the timber quantities produced by the current structural model.
Is the result a purchase quote?
No. It is an early material estimate. Confirm availability, grades, taxes, delivery, and final prices with the supplier.

The result is an early material estimate, not a supplier quote. Confirm stock, grades, taxes, delivery, and final prices before purchase.
