Ensure that the Wall Length (Feet) and Wall Height (Feet) cells for both Bearing Walls and Insulation Walls have pulled correct information from the BasicInfo tab.
Specifications and information for plates, studs, corners, windows and doors, windows and wall sheathing should be present in the appropriate cells. If it is not present, use Bluebeam to study the plans and enter the missing values.
Line items in this subsection that require extra consideration outside of the process described in How to Complete Material Estimates:
Top Plate and Bottom Plate quantity depends on four variables to estimate correctly. These variables should be defined in the section header for each wall type prior to estimating plate materials. They include:
Wall Stud quantity depends on six variables to estimate correctly. These variables should be defined in the section header for each wall type prior to estimating wall stud materials. They include:
This is the same process used for estimating labor costs for any other construction task using the NCE.
