Lumber Prices

Lumber prices are contained in a table where each row of the table is a price. Each price is for a particular stock length of a lumber type (species, grade, treatment, type, and size).

When multiple prices exist for the same stock length of a lumber type, only the most recent (based on the Last Updated field) will be used.

Whenever a certain lumber type is looked up in the pricing table, if the exact required stock length is not found, the next largest stock length of the same lumber type will be used.\

Prices are per 1000 board feet (BF).

Note

Stock Length settings and corresponding pricing have an impact on auto-splicing during analysis.

Splicing Logic Summary:

• Auto-splicing is optimized for lowest cost but only if there is pricing defined for all lumber and stock lengths.

• If pricing is not defined for all lumber and stock lengths then auto-splicing uses the longest available stock length.
