Drywall suspension mains, cross tees, hanger wire, trim and the board that closes it - hard lids, soffits and bulkheads quantified as their own system, because that's how they're bought and built.
Corridor lids, lobby soffits, floating drywall clouds and bulkheads at ceiling transitions all ride on a suspension system - drywall grid main tees, cross tees, wire and trim - that prices nothing like a stud wall. A takeoff that buries suspended ceilings inside the general board number leaves your grid, wire and labor unpriced. We quantify the system component by component, straight off the reflected ceiling plan.
On a recent multi-family package we quantified 5,700+ LF of drywall suspension main tees, 11,400+ LF of cross tees and 22,900 LF of hanger wire - numbers that would have been a blind allowance in most bids. When the reflected ceiling plan and the sections disagree, we flag the conflict in writing so you can RFI it instead of eating it.
Ceiling suspension arrives as its own section of a full drywall takeoff or as a standalone scope for ceiling subs - Excel, PDF or CSV, 24 to 48 hours standard, free revisions within 48 hours of delivery.
Acoustical ceilings use exposed tee grid with lay-in tile; drywall suspension uses concealed grid that gets boarded and finished. They price differently, so we quantify them as separate systems - and can do both on one project.
Yes - stud-and-track framed soffits, grid-framed bulkheads and kicker bracing are each taken off per the details that govern them.
Always. Ceiling board hangs at a different production rate, so it gets its own lines - your labor pricing stays honest.
