Setup Onboarding

Save your company, local pricing, and markup defaults once so your carpentry estimates start with the right baseline on this device.

What This App Remembers

  • Field conditions, lumber grade, and hardware choices move carpentry pricing quickly. The review screen is where you tighten those assumptions.
  • Use the walkthrough script to separate framing, finish, and exterior wood scope before you leave the site.
  • IRC and structural guidance are informational only. Engineering or local interpretation can change final scope.

Manual Estimate Inputs

Assumptions

  • Species, grade, stain-grade finish, and hardware package can change final pricing after selections are approved.
  • Deck and exterior wood scope assumes standard flashing and hardware unless specialty connectors are called out.
  • Cabinetry and built-ins are priced by linear footage with standard installation assumptions.
  • Structural corrections, engineering, and code upgrades may expand once walls or decks are opened.
  • IRC references are guidance only. Final enforcement depends on the inspector and project conditions.
  • Door and window rates assume ordinary rough openings and do not include major structural reframing unless written in.
