Takeoffs & estimating

Drywall takeoffs

We measure walls and ceilings room by room from your plans and sections, split the board by type, thickness and sheet length, and count the joint compound, tape, bead and screws to match. Your bid and your order start from the same numbers.

Living room with drywall walls and ceilings

Heights and ceilings done properly

Vaulted ceilings, soffits, tray ceilings and stair walls are where drywall takeoffs go wrong. We measure them from the sections and the ceiling heights on the plans, never from an assumed eight-foot wall.

What we separate

Fire-rated board wherever the plans call for it
Moisture-resistant board in baths and laundry rooms
Ceilings and walls, for labor pricing
Each floor, and each unit on multifamily jobs
Corner bead, trims and accessories by type

For contractors and suppliers

Drywall contractors use the takeoff to bid labor and order board, and suppliers use it to quote and stage deliveries floor by floor. Both get the same marked-up plans, so everyone counts the same walls.

Questions we are asked

Do you include waste?

Waste is shown as its own line, so you can apply the figure your crew actually achieves.

Can you take off insulation too?

Yes. Wall and ceiling insulation areas can come from the same measurements.
