The billable moment
A quote is billed once: when its takeoff is released to your yard.
That is the entire rule. Everything before that moment is free, and so is everything after it.
- BeforeFree
Set up, upload, wait
Create projects and upload plan sets. LumberSet reads the sheets, computes the takeoff and, in gated review mode, has one of our Reviewers check it.
- Release$200
The takeoff reaches you
The takeoff for that plan set is released to your yard. This is the billable quote. It is recorded on your ledger and charged through Stripe.
- AfterFree
Edit, price, send, repeat
Correct elements and recompute, match to your catalog, change prices and margin, send the quote, then revise and re-send it for as long as the project lives.

The full price list
Everything that can appear on your ledger.
Every charge, credit and coupon is recorded on your workspace's ledger. Only a custom plan, if you ask for one, has a monthly fee.
Takeoff
A yard knows it as a quote. The first one is free. Corrections, re-pricing, re-sending and re-exporting are included.
$200per released takeoffChange order
Revised drawings after release run as their own takeoff and are shown as what changed: lines added, lines removed and quantities that moved. The takeoff you already have stays as it was.
$100per released change orderCredit packs
A credit covers one released takeoff. Buy credits in advance and they are used before the takeoff fee is charged. Credits never expire, and they do not apply to change orders.
From $160per takeoff- 5 credits$900$180 a takeoff, 10% less
- 10 credits$1,700$170 a takeoff, 15% less
- 25 credits$4,000$160 a takeoff, 20% less
Coupons
A coupon takes a percentage or an amount off your next takeoff fees, or adds credits to your workspace. Change orders are not discounted. Redeem it in Settings, under Billing.
Redeem once per workspaceCustom plan
One monthly fee with takeoffs included, priced for how much you run. Ask for one and we call you with a price; nothing changes until you accept it in Billing. It is charged to your card each month, and you can cancel any time: it runs to the end of the month you paid for.
For 5 or more a month
For contractors
Builders pay the same: $200 per released takeoff.
A general contractor, framer, remodeler or developer uploads a plan set and gets the same reviewed takeoff a yard gets. Instead of pricing it from a catalog, they get what a builder needs to bid.
Your first takeoff is free. No monthly fee. No seat licenses. No contract. Corrections and re-exports cost nothing extra. Change orders cost the same $100.
What $200 buys a builder
The takeoff, a budget, real quotes and exports.
- The same reviewed takeoff a yard gets, with the arithmetic on every line
- Evidence linking each element to its sheet region
- A budget estimate priced from LumberSet's reference price book
- A request for quote to the yards you choose, with their replies side by side
- CSV and takeoff PDF exports for your own tools
- Unlimited corrections, recomputes and re-exports
- Your whole team: no seat licenses
Custom plans
Running 5 or more a month? A custom plan can cost less.
Credit packs are the self-serve discount: buy them in Billing, from $160 a takeoff, and they cover your next ones. For steady volume, a custom plan charges one monthly fee with takeoffs included, priced around how much you actually run, so there is no price table to print here. Tell us roughly how many plan sets cross your desk in a month and we will call you with a price. Nothing changes until you accept it.
Pricing FAQ
The questions behind the price.
What exactly counts as a billable quote?
A quote becomes billable at one moment: when the takeoff for a plan set is released to your yard. Creating projects, uploading drawings, setting up your standards and loading your catalog are not billable, and neither is anything you do to the quote after release.
Do edits and re-pricing cost extra?
No. Once a takeoff is released you can correct a wall height, change a stud spacing, swap materials, re-match catalog items, change prices or margin, and send the quote again as many times as the project needs. None of that is charged.
What happens when the builder sends revised drawings?
Revised or additional drawings after release are a change order. LumberSet runs them as their own takeoff and shows what changed: lines added, lines removed and quantities that moved. A change order is billed once, at $100, when its takeoff is released. Small changes you make yourself, such as a wall height, a stud spacing or a substituted material, recompute the existing takeoff instantly at no charge.
What are credits and coupons?
A credit covers one released takeoff. Credits come in packs: 5 for $900, 10 for $1,700 or 25 for $4,000, which brings a takeoff down to as little as $160. Credits are used before the takeoff fee is charged, and they never expire. A coupon is a code we hand out: it takes a percentage or an amount off your next takeoff fees, or adds credits. Neither applies to a change order. Redeem a coupon once per workspace in Settings, under Billing. Every credit, coupon and charge shows on your ledger.
Do I pay if I do not win the project?
Yes. The $200 is for the takeoff and the quote, not a commission on the sale. The comparison to make is with what the same takeoff costs you today in estimator hours, and with the projects you cannot quote at all when the desk is backed up.
What if a takeoff is unusable?
If a takeoff is unusable because the drawings could not be read, you are not charged for it. If you believe a charge was made in error, write to hello@lumberset.com within 30 days and we will review it. The refund policy has the details.
Is there a monthly fee, a minimum or a contract?
Not on pay per quote. A month with no quotes costs nothing, and there is nothing to cancel. Billing plans for yards quoting at volume do carry a monthly fee, in exchange for included quotes. Those are arranged by conversation.
How many people at my yard can use it?
As many as you like. There are no seat licenses. Invite owners, managers and estimators to your yard's workspace, each with the access their role needs.
How do I pay?
By card. Payments are handled by Stripe, so card details never touch LumberSet's servers. Every charge, credit, coupon and refund appears on your yard's ledger, so the bookkeeping is never a mystery.
Will the price change?
$200 per quote is our launch price. If it changes, we will tell you before the change applies to you, and quotes already billed are never re-priced.
Is the price the same for contractors?
Yes. A general contractor, framer, remodeler or developer pays $200 per released takeoff, with the first one free, and gets the same reviewed takeoff a yard gets. Instead of pricing from a catalog they receive a budget estimate, a request for quote to send to their own yards, and CSV and PDF exports. Corrections and re-exports are free, and change orders cost the same $100.
Your first takeoff is free. Your first charge is the second.
Sign up, set your standards, add your catalog and upload a plan set. Nothing is billed before a takeoff is released to your yard, and the first one costs nothing.
$200 per quote. No monthly fee. No seat licenses. No contract.
