How it works
Clear assumptions.
Useful starting point.
- Stud layout includes one stud at each end of the wall.
- Each door adds two king studs and two jack studs.
- Each window adds two king studs, two jack studs, and two allowance studs for cripples.
- Plates are estimated as one bottom plate and a double top plate.
Planning estimate only. Headers, corners, intersections, blocking, fire stops, hold-downs, local code requirements, species, grade, and project-specific engineering are not included. Confirm final quantities against approved plans.
