Technical Standards & Documentation Audits

We structure all quantity takeoffs under CSI Division 06 - Wood, Plastics, and Composites using measurement principles from Dimensional lumber measured in linear feet and converted to board feet (BF = [thickness" x width" x length'] / 12) and Wall studs calculated based on on-center spacing (16" O.C. or 24" O.C.) plus corners, tees, and trimmers and Structural sheathing (OSB / Plywood) measured in 4x8 sheet counts (32 SF per sheet). Line items reflect local code criteria defined by Nassau County Fire Prevention Ordinance, Town-specific building codes (Hempstead, North Hempstead, Oyster Bay), and strict aquifer protection runoff recharge mandates.
