Materials Shopping List | Know Home Material Costs Before You Build
Materials Shopping List

Know What the Home Requires—Before You Spend a Dollar.

A BIM-generated, model-specific list of the materials and products required to complete the home—from siding and roofing to flooring, fixtures and appliances.

You can define the complete material scope before construction begins—and price your selections before committing to the build.

Cost clarity earlier

Change the sequence before the budget is exposed.

Instead of discovering costs one allowance, substitution and change order at a time, start with an organized scope generated from the digital building model.

Every curated FrameUpNow model begins as a detailed digital building model. From that model, the materials required to complete the home are organized into a practical, downloadable Materials Shopping List.

You can review the scope, choose the products and quality levels you prefer, and build a far more complete cost picture before the first stud is cut.

Model-specific quantitiesGenerated from the selected home model rather than a generic square-foot allowance.
Generic descriptionsChoose your preferred brand, finish, quality level and supplier.
Whole-home visibilityExtends beyond the steel skeleton into major exterior, interior and appliance categories.
Pre-purchase accessStudy the list before investing in the frame or committing to construction.
A practical pricing pathTake the quantities to your preferred building-material supplier and price your selections.
From Digital Model to Priced Plan

A clearer path from home selection to budget decision.

Use the list to turn a model into a defined scope, personalize the selections, then price the complete package before construction begins.

Certainty 3C

Know the quantities. Choose the quality. Price the selections.

Then decide whether to build. The list keeps the product decisions yours while replacing incomplete assumptions with an organized material scope tied to the actual model.

Fewer omissions. A model-driven list helps reveal items that can be missed in manual estimates or scattered allowances.
Fewer surprises. Early product selection exposes the cost of your preferences before they become field changes.
Better supplier conversations. Quantities and generic descriptions provide a structured starting point for pricing and alternatives.
Better contractor alignment. Owner and contractor can discuss the same scope and the same selections.
Better decisions. Adjust brands, finishes or specifications while changes remain inexpensive decisions.

Inside the Lookout List

Detailed enough to support real supplier conversations.

The sample Lookout document organizes information across architectural, mechanical, HVAC, electrical and plumbing categories, with fields for quantities, descriptions, manufacturers, SKUs, unit price and totals.

That gives homeowners and builders a practical starting point for selecting products and creating a more complete cost picture.

The list defines material scope and quantities. Final local pricing still depends on product selections, taxes, delivery, availability and project-specific conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Understand what the list does—and what it does not do.

Is the Materials Shopping List available for every FrameUpNow model?

Yes. Each model includes a downloadable list tied to that model.

Is this the same as the steel-frame parts list?

No. The engineered steel frame has its own manufacturing information. The Materials Shopping List helps plan the broader materials and products used to complete the home.

Does the list force me to buy particular brands?

No. Descriptions are generic so you can select the brand, quality, finish and supplier that suit your project.

Does the download show my final local price?

No. It defines the material scope and quantities. Final pricing depends on product choices, local pricing, taxes, delivery, availability and project-specific conditions.

Can I use the list before I order a FrameUpNow skeleton?

Yes. You can investigate material scope and pricing before making the larger commitment to build.

Can a supplier help me complete the pricing?

Yes. Take the list to your preferred building-material supplier and use the generic descriptions and quantities as a starting point for product selection and pricing.

Do Not Start With a Guess. Start With the List.
