The Estimating Back Office for America's Drywall Contractors
An independent estimating firm - not a software subscription, not a lead-gen site. Contractors send plans; certified estimators send back quantities they can bid, buy and build from.
Who We Are
Drywall Takeoff Services is a trade name of Bids Analytics LLC - the same company behind Lumber Estimating Services, serving contractors nationwide for more than seven years from our office at 418 Broadway STE R, Albany, NY 12207. The same project managers and quality standards now serve the drywall trade full time: gypsum board, light gauge steel framing, insulation, ceilings, finishing, prerock, shaft wall, sheathing and firestopping. Invoicing and contracts are issued by Bids Analytics LLC.
Why Trade Depth Matters
General-purpose estimating shops treat drywall like painting with extra steps. We staff estimators who know why deflection track legs have depths, why prerock mobilizes on the plumber's schedule, and why half a million feet of resilient channel hides inside ceiling assembly notes. That knowledge is the difference between a takeoff you double-check and a takeoff you bid from - and it's visible in every guide, calculator and sample on this site. It's also why national builders come back: the sample page shows our markups on Toll Brothers projects in two different states, two different building types.
How We Work
Every project gets a dedicated project manager and a certified estimator in PlanSwift or Bluebeam Revu. Quantities organize per wall type and floor, cross-checked against Gypsum Association standards. Quotes are firm within 2-4 hours; delivery runs 24-48 hours for standard scopes; revisions are free within 48 hours. Simple, because contractors don't have time for complicated.
