Exterior Corner Framing Cost

Construction Item Description

Additional construction framing cost for each exterior wall corner in a construction project.

Unit Size

One corner. Include all corners on the exterior of a building project (a rectangle will have 4 corners, an "ell" will have 6 corners, and a "tee" will have 8 corners).

Labor Costs

We figure 15 minutes of additional carpenter time for each corner. That cost covers additional setup and trim time, plus the cost of framing the corner itself.

Material Costs

We figure an additional 3 2x4 studs per corner.

Suggested Quantity

Exterior corner count from the Basic Dimensions screen.

Source of Construction Pricing

We based the labor costs on crew timing, plus a guess at the other labor required per corner. Material quantities are based on typical corner framing details.
