Every House Plan Includes a FREE Material List – Build Smarter, Faster & More Accurately!

FREE Material List Included with Every Plan

Every purchase comes with a downloadable Material List (Excel + PDF) prepared from the plan’s structural sheets. Share it directly with your lumberyard or builder to speed up bids, ordering, and scheduling.

What’s Included

• Framing lumber totals — cut-length breakdowns for floor/ceiling joists (2×10, I-joist, etc.), rafters, LVL/wood beams & headers, and posts.
• Sheathing & decking areas — 3/4″ subfloor, deck sheathing, and roof sheathing (shown in square feet).
• Wall framing by type — color-coded linear feet for exterior/interior wall types and heights (e.g., 2×4 ext., 2×4/2×6 int.).
• Plan overlays — clear, color-coded pages that visually match quantities to each floor, ceiling, and foundation plan.
• Editable spreadsheet — easy to adjust for supplier stock lengths, waste factors, or local preferences.

Note: Finish selections and MEP items (plumbing, HVAC, electrical fixtures) are not part of the Material List. Quantities are derived from the drawings and should be verified by your contractor/supplier.

Why It Matters

• Faster bids: Send the takeoff to suppliers for apples-to-apples pricing—no guesswork.
• Lower cost & less waste: Length-specific counts help right-size orders and reduce extra trips.
• Smoother build: Clear quantities keep framing moving and reduce on-site errors.
• Easy for changes: If you choose a different foundation type or make approved plan modifications, we generate the Material List from the updated set.

How to Use It

1. Choose your plan and any free foundation option.
2. Download the Material List (XLSX + PDF) included with your files.
3. Share with your lumberyard/truss supplier to confirm pricing, stock lengths, and any waste factor they recommend.

Heads-up on permits: Plans are pre-engineered and formatted for most jurisdictions, but many areas require review and a local engineer’s reseal. The Material List supports estimating and ordering; final quantities may be adjusted by your local engineer or supplier for regional codes (wind, snow, seismic).
