| Lumber schedule | Member size, grade, length and count | Keep engineered members and truss packages separate from dimensional lumber. |
| Sheathing | Surface area converted to the selected sheet size | Show net area and cutting or ordering allowance separately. |
| Hardware | Connector and shear-wall schedules | Count hangers, straps, hold-downs and blocking from details rather than adding an unexplained percentage. |
