What Is Metal Stud Framing Estimating
Metal stud framing estimating is the process of measuring and pricing the cold formed steel framing inside a building. It covers studs, top and bottom track, ceiling framing, soffits, headers, backing and the labor to install them.
Framing numbers change with wall type, height and stud spacing. A full height wall to the deck needs longer studs, deflection track and more labor than a wall that stops at the ceiling. We take each wall type from the partition schedule in PlanSwift and Bluebeam and count studs, track and accessories by gauge, so your bid matches the drawings.
