Start with the floor system
Design your floor system early, before the permit, so framing stays on schedule.
From floor systems and LVLs to beams, trusses, and structural framing, Lummus Supply helps builders plan engineered wood packages before construction begins.
Your framing package affects nearly every phase that follows. We work from your plans to complete takeoffs, coordinate engineered products, and help keep your project moving from foundation to framing.
From Plans to Package
What Our Design & Takeoff Service Covers
A successful floor system starts with accurate planning.
When you send your plans to Lummus Supply, our engineered wood team reviews the project and develops the structural package needed for construction.
Our takeoff and design services include:
The goal is simple. Give your framing crew a complete, coordinated package before construction begins.

Build Smarter, Earlier
Why Early Floor System Design Matters
The framing schedule often depends on decisions that happen weeks earlier.
Waiting until permits are approved or framing is underway can create unnecessary delays while floor systems are redesigned or additional materials are ordered.
Designing the engineered floor system early helps builders:
The earlier the floor system is finalized, the easier it is to keep the project moving.
Engineered Wood Partners
Featured Engineered Wood Products
Lummus Supply works with leading engineered wood manufacturers to provide structural solutions for custom homes throughout metro Atlanta.
Boise Cascade is Lummus Supply's primary engineered wood line, offering I-joists, LVLs, rim board, and complete engineered floor systems designed for residential construction.
Pacific Woodtech provides treated laminated veneer lumber (LVLs) for projects that require additional moisture resistance or specialized structural applications.
TrimJoist combines floor framing with built-in mechanical space, making it easier to route HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems without additional framing modifications.
Lummus Supply also coordinates open-web floor trusses and roof truss systems when the project calls for them, helping builders simplify structural planning through one team.
Why Builders Choose Lummus for Engineered Wood
Engineered wood is one of the earliest decisions on a project, but it affects nearly every phase that follows.
Working with Lummus early helps you:
Frequently Asked Questions
As early as possible. Designing the floor system before permits are finalized gives builders time to coordinate structural requirements, review layouts, and order materials before framing begins.
Construction plans are the best place to start. The more complete the plans, the more accurately the engineered wood team can develop the floor system and material takeoff.
Planning the floor system early helps identify structural questions before construction begins. That reduces field changes, improves material coordination, and helps keep the framing crew working on schedule.
Lummus Supply features Boise Cascade engineered wood products and also supplies Pacific Woodtech products, TrimJoist systems, and truss packages for projects that require specialized structural solutions.
Let's Plan the Floor System Before Framing Begins
The best time to solve structural questions is before the framing crew arrives.
Whether you're building one custom home or managing multiple projects, Lummus Supply can help develop an engineered floor system that fits your plans and keeps your schedule moving.
