- Design wind speed: 110 mph (Snohomish County). Straps, hold-downs and wall bracing on the plans follow it.
- Seismic design category: D2 (Snohomish County). Braced wall panels, hold-downs and anchor bolts follow the seismic rules; they are on the plans' shear wall sheet, and in the hardware list.
- Frost depth: 18 in (Snohomish County). The footings go below it (foundation work, shown for reference).

Framing takeoffs in South Snohomish County
Do you do framing takeoffs for houses in Lynnwood?
Yes. Upload the plan set for a house anywhere in south Snohomish County (Lynnwood, Edmonds, Mill Creek, Mukilteo, Bothell and Mountlake Terrace), or anywhere else. Nothing has to be built yet: we measure the house on the plans.
What design numbers apply in Lynnwood?
Lynnwood publishes snow load: 22 psf (ground); design wind speed: 98 mph; seismic design category: D; frost depth: 18 in. The design on your plans should match them, and the takeoff follows your plans. Elevation and exposure can change them for your lot, so confirm with the building department.
Does a takeoff cost more in South Snohomish County?
No. The price is the same everywhere, and you see it before you pay. The 3D model is included, and each trade after the first in the same order is half price.
Is this an exact price?
No. It's an estimate built from your plans. Plans don't show field changes: walls moved on site, extra blocking, or framing an engineer or inspector asks for. Anything built differently from the drawings won't be in the bid. We recommend a site visit to confirm measurements and conditions before you sign a contract or order materials.
