Drywall Takeoff Services in Florida
You can use our drywall takeoff services to save you the costs that you spend on the in-house estimating team. We offer expert drywall quantity takeoffs for material procurement, resource allocation, and budget management. Our detailed takeoff process is as follows:
Drywall Surface Area Calculation
The first step in calculating the materials for drywall involves measuring the surface area to be covered. We measure the height and length of each wall and multiply these dimensions to get the square footage. For example, if a wall is 8 feet high and 12 feet long, the square footage is 96 square feet. Our estimators repeat this process for each wall in the room to get the total square footage that needs drywall. We also include ceilings if they require drywall as well.
Labor Calculation
We know that an experienced drywall installer can hang approximately 500 square feet of drywall per day. If the project includes 960 square feet of drywall, it should take roughly two days for a single worker. We double this time for taping, mudding, and sanding, resulting in approximately four working days total for one worker to complete the drywall.
Preparing Excel Spreadsheet
We use an Excel spreadsheet to automate the calculation process and make it easier to adjust quantities as needed. Our team sets up columns for each component (drywall sheets, joint compound, tape, screws, corner beads) and rows for each wall/ceiling section. We input values for surface area measurements, waste allowance percentage, and product specifications (such as roll length or screw quantity per sheet). We will send this Excel spreadsheet to you as a deliverable.
Additional Components
Our freelance estimators consider additional components such as screws, corner beads, and potential waste. Typically, our online estimators calculate 48 drywall screws per 4x8 sheet. Corner beads are essential for corners and we measure them in linear foot of corners which are present in the drawing plans. We usually count 10-15% more materials than calculated to allow for waste and error.
Calculating Joint Compound and Tape
Joint compound and seam tape are essential for sealing the joints between drywall sheets. On average, 1.5 gallons of joint compound are used for every 500 square feet of drywall. If the area is 960 square feet, then 2.88 gallons of joint compound will be required. Seam tape is needed for the total length of the seams. We measure the length of all drywall edges meeting and use that measurement to count the number of tape rolls, with each standard roll containing about 500 feet of tape.
Estimating Drywall Sheets Needed
Standard drywall sheets come in 4x8 feet panels. To ascertain the number of panels required, we divide the total square footage by 32 (the area of each 4x8 sheet in square feet). For instance, if the total surface area is 960 square feet, then you need 960 / 32 = 30 panels of drywall.
