Photo of a timber house frame with timber panels stacked in front of the house.Determining labour for framing a house requires the use of the measurements from the house plan. You will need to specify some kind of measurements as part of a labour quote for the framer - per lineal metre of wall, per square metre of wall or per square metre of floor.

You will use the small residence house plan downloaded earlier in this topic. You can download another copy of this floor plan for a small residence (Word 1.37 MB) if you need to for this activity. You will need to print the plan.

These worked examples will walk you through the steps for the three different methods of quoting labour.
