Blueprint and Design Assistance: Get Ideas onto Paper

Our experienced designers help you and your customers get thoughts, ideas, and wishes onto paper. We work with you on layouts for new homes, pole buildings, garages, and decks. If a customer walks in with a sketch on a napkin, we can help turn it into a workable plan.

Estimating

Blueprint-Based Estimates and Take-Offs: Spend Less Time at the Desk

Hand us your blueprints and our staff will produce a complete material take-off and estimate. That means less evening paperwork for you and fewer surprises at the jobsite. Free estimating is available for any project. Our estimators know Central Michigan construction, so the counts reflect how homes, pole barns, and decks actually get built here.

Process

How Do Builders Use DeWitt Lumber's Blueprint Services?

01

Step 1: Bring Us Your Plans

Drop off your blueprints at the yard, send us digital files, or sit down with one of our designers to draw the project up from scratch. Need working prints? Select locations can plot and print them on the spot.
02

Step 2: Review the Take-Off and Estimate

Our staff completes a full material take-off from your plans. We walk through it with you line by line, at our counter or at your jobsite, so the numbers match how you build.
03

Step 3: Source Your Products

We supply the standard framing package and track down specialty products you cannot find elsewhere. Our product specialists and selection centers help your customers pick kitchens, baths, doors, and windows without slowing your schedule.
04

Step 4: Schedule Jobsite Delivery

Once the order is set, we coordinate safe, convenient delivery with the right equipment for the job: truck-mounted forklifts, shingle elevators, cube vans, boomed forklifts, and insulation blowers. Materials land where your crew needs them.
Take-offs

Blueprint Take-Offs: Order the Right Materials the First Time

An accurate take-off protects your budget and your schedule. Overorder and your margin sits in a scrap pile. Underorder and your crew stands around waiting on a delivery. Our estimators build take-offs from your actual blueprints, not rough square-footage guesses. You get a materials list matched to your plans, priced at your contractor rate, and ready to schedule for delivery.
