Honestly, I’ve been noticing this a lot lately… most delays in small and mid-size projects actually come from wrong material counts, especially lumber. People think it’s just “order some extra and it’ll be fine,” but that’s exactly how budgets go sideways and timelines slip.
When framing starts and you suddenly realize the lumber is short, the whole crew just sits around waiting. And if you over-order, you’re stuck with a pile of material you didn’t even need. That’s why more contractors now are using lumber takeoff services in USA to get their numbers straight before anything begins. It saves time, reduces waste, and honestly keeps everyone way more organized.
What’s everyone doing here? Are you still doing manual counts from plans or using digital takeoffs now? I feel like even small builders should switch because it makes planning so much smoother.
