Board feet = (thickness in inches x width in inches x length in feet) / 12. This uses nominal dimensions as entered - actual milled lumber sizes run smaller than nominal (a "2x6" is really 1.5" x 5.5"), which is already reflected in the placeholder values above.

This math, built into every bid

Punchlist's reusable cost catalog keeps material quantities and pricing consistent across every job, not re-guessed each time.
