BLOCKING MATERIAL BUILDER
Blocking takeoffs.
Stupid simple.
Choose what you are blocking, choose the material, and let BidSimp convert the requirement into plywood sheets or linear feet.
SUPPLIER SUMMARY
Blocking material list
Enter blocking quantities above to build the material summary.
PDF / Print Details (Optional)Add project information to your printout.
These fields are optional and do not affect the calculation.
Grab-bar dimensions are editable estimating allowances, not a code or specification. Plywood rip calculations assume full-length rips run along the 8-foot sheet dimension. Plywood is rounded up within each blocking item before the summary, so BidSimp does not assume scrap from one condition can be reused for another. FRT means fire-retardant-treated material; it does not certify a fire-rated assembly.
HOW IT WORKS
Construction blocking calculator
Blocking is rarely one clean quantity. BidSimp lets each blocking item describe both the application and the material so grab bars, cabinets, stud caps and custom conditions can live in the same takeoff.
Plywood, flat stock or lumber
Plywood conditions convert to whole 4 × 8 sheets. Metal flat stock and dimensional lumber calculate required linear footage. Each item can carry its own material details and estimating allowance.
Built for mixed conditions
Add B1, B2, B3 and additional blocking items as needed, then use the consolidated material summary to see matching materials together for purchasing and supplier review.
Estimate responsibly. BidSimp is an estimating aid. Verify blocking dimensions, accessory details, lumber or plywood treatment, gauges, material availability, tested assemblies, specifications, field conditions, and project documents before purchasing materials, bidding, or performing work.
