Components of Drywall Estimating Services
Material Takeoff
For accurate material takeoff we combine expert knowledge with the latest software’s to ensure accuracy at every step. Key elements of our approach include:
- Plans & Specification Review: We fully understand the project’s scope and material requirements before moving forward. This includes dimensions, layout details, and the type of drywall required (such as moisture-resistant, fire-rated, or soundproof).
- Marking on plans: We carefully mark the project blueprints using professional software tools like PlanSwift and Bluebeam to measure and highlight areas requiring drywall installation.
- Quantity Takeoff: Quantity Takeoff involves determining how many drywall sheets, tape and mudding compounds will be needed using Excel spreadsheets for the project.
Cost Estimating
In Cost Estimating we include all aspects like material costs, labor, equipment, waste allowances, taxes, and profit margins of the drywall project. Below is the step-by-step overview of the entire process:
- Material Costs Calculation: First of all, we gather current market prices for drywall assembly material and then we add delivery charges as per location and the distance to the project site.
- Labor Cost Estimation: Labor costs are estimated by including total man-hours required to complete the project based on its scope, complexity and local labor rates.
- Machinery and Equipment Costs: Some projects require renting specialized tools, such as drywall lifts and scaffolding and for larger commercial projects, heavy machinery like cranes or lifts might be necessary we include rental and fuel costs.
- Wastage and Contingency: During drywall installation, a 5-10% material are wasted due to cutting, fitting, and irregular shapes. We typically account for, depending on the complexity of the project and add contingency amount to cover material damage and delays.
- Taxes and Permits: We include local sales tax on materials based on the location of the project. Each region may have different tax rates, also include payroll taxes and insurance of labor.
