Size stud spacing for a wall run, check the floor-joist span it sits on, get the board-feet total, then roll it into a takeoff.

Workflow

Step 1 of 4

Wall Framing Calculator

Calculate stud count and spacing for a wall of a given length.

framing({"total_wall_lf": 100, "wall_height": 70})
Step 2 of 4

Floor Joist Span Calculator

Check the joist span the framed wall bears on.

floor_joist({"span": 100, "room_width": 12})
Step 3 of 4

Board Feet Calculator

Convert the lumber list into total board feet.

board_feet({"thickness_in": 100, "width_in": 12, "length_ft": 20})
