Our approach to drywall estimating begins with a thorough review of the drawing plans and bid documents to understand the project scope. Using advanced takeoff software, such as Planswift, we accurately measure walls, partitions, and ceilings, minimizing the chances of errors. The quantities are then exported to organized Excel spreadsheets, categorized by floors, wall types, partitions, sections, and elevations. We apply pricing using RSMeans and our construction cost database for up-to-date and location-based costing of materials and labor.
Our estimates include local labor rates, labor hours, transportation costs, wastages, permits, taxes, site repairs, cleanups, and other miscellaneous expenses.
