Stop doing board-foot calculations on scrap lumber. HAMMER builds accurate estimates for framing, trim work, cabinetry, and custom builds in minutes from your phone.
The Problem
Whether you are framing a house or building custom cabinets, accurate material takeoffs are the difference between profit and loss. Here is where most carpenters struggle.
Studs, plates, headers, joists, sheathing, and blocking. A 2,000 square foot framing package has hundreds of individual pieces. Counting them from blueprints takes hours, and missing a header or beam means a mid-job lumber run that kills your schedule and your margin.
Dimensional lumber prices can swing 30% in a single quarter. If you quoted a framing job at last month's prices and lumber jumped before you start, your margin evaporates before the first nail is driven. You need quotes that reflect current pricing.
Built-in bookshelves, wainscoting, crown moulding, and custom closet systems each have unique material and labor requirements. Estimating custom finish carpentry from memory leads to underquoting, scope disputes, and unhappy clients.
Built for Your Trade
HAMMER understands board feet, stud spacing, header sizing, and the difference between rough and finish carpentry.
Describe the build: "1,800 sq ft ranch, 2x6 exterior walls, 2x4 interior, engineered floor joists, 9-foot ceilings." HAMMER builds a complete material list with studs, plates, headers, sheathing, nails, and labor. Review and send in minutes.
Baseboards, casings, crown moulding, chair rail, and wainscoting by room. HAMMER calculates linear footage, miter waste, and material costs for each trim element. No more forgetting to account for inside and outside corners.
Quote composite and pressure-treated decks with footings, framing, decking, railings, and stairs. Include optional pergola, privacy wall, and built-in bench add-ons as Good/Better/Best tiers that let the homeowner customize their outdoor space.
Price custom cabinets, entertainment centers, mudroom lockers, and pantry shelving by component. HAMMER breaks down material (plywood, hardwood, hardware) and labor for each piece so your quote matches the complexity of the build.
