Approach to Quantify Drywall Takeoff Estimates
We follow a simple procedure and a few technical steps to ensure accuracy and value for every project.
Measure the Area
We use advanced software to calculate the total surface area in square feet that requires drywall by considering architectural features like windows, doors, and cutouts, ensuring no material is wasted. If there is a room with a height of 10 feet and a perimeter of 50 feet, it would require 500 sq. ft. of drywall coverage.
Calculate Drywall Sheets
Our professional drywall estimators divide the total surface area by the size of standard drywall sheets typically 4×8 or 4×12 feet. An additional 10-15% is included to account for cuts, adjustments, and errors, to save you from unexpected shortages or overspending.
Estimate Joint Compounds & Materials
Considering the linear footage of seams in the perimeter and intersections, we decide the amount of compound needed for smooth finishes. We add the costs of tape, corner beads, fasteners, and screws into the estimate.
Labor Cost Assessment
We calculate labor costs using RS Means and regional databases that are based on local hourly rates and project complexity. High ceilings, uneven walls, or complex designs add to labor requirements.
Painting Estimates
Our drywall construction estimating service also includes the painting cost based on the type of finish whether flat, satin, or gloss, surface area, and paint quality. Painting 1,000 sq. ft. with a single coat of mid-grade paint would require 2-3 gallons, adding $150-$300 to the estimate.
