Real-world usage of FRM|FRMBIDITM
Appears in 12 of 358 scopes ESXPress has analysed and in 5 of 550 converted customer scopes. Usage is measured from real claim documents, never estimated. How this is measured.
How it's written in real claims
From 15 line items across 12 scopes processed through ESXPress — the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters actually write:
- “Framing & Rough Carpentry (Bid Item)”8 lines
- “Materials for carpentry”1 line
- “Framing & Rough Carpentry Bid item”1 line
- “Carpentry - Labor to install Railing”1 line
- “Framing & Rough Carpentry bid item”1 line
Dominant unit of measure: EA — used in 100% of samples.

When to use it
Use FRM|FRMBIDITM when the scope calls for this code — Framing work measured in each (EA). The real-world act texts track the reference wording: 7 of the 15 observed line items (46.7%) were written with this code.
The co-occurrence data below comes from processed scopes; the strongest pairing is with ELE|ELEBIDITM — the same scopes, 6 times, lift 13.62.
How to use it
Measure the work in EA: 15 of the 15 observed line items (100.0%) used EA. There is no unit variation for this code in the processed scopes.
This code accounts for 7 of the 15 sampled lines (46.7%).
Often used together
Two kinds of related codes are listed below. First, codes that appear in the same scopes as FRM|FRMBIDITM — co-occurrence measured across the claim scopes processed through ESXPress with support of at least 3 scopes and lift of at least 1.5. Second, other frequently used Framing (FRM) category codes, ranked by how often they appear in the analysed scopes. Descriptions are from the ESXPress code reference.
Real-world examples
Each example is an anonymised line from a processed claim scope: the exact operation text and unit of measure adjusters wrote, with the observed line-item count. The count is line frequency across the analysed samples — never a price and never a quantity from a specific claim.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Materials for carpentry”, EA, qty 1.
- In a real claim, this line appeared as: “Framing & Rough Carpentry Bid item”, EA, qty 1.
