Every Question, Answered Straight

A drywall takeoff is the measured extraction of every material quantity from construction drawings - gypsum board, metal framing, insulation, joint treatment, trims, fasteners and firestopping - organized into a supplier-ready document. It's the quantity foundation under every accurate bid.

A takeoff is quantities; an estimate adds pricing and labor to those quantities. We deliver takeoffs with optional labor-hour structures, so you apply your own rates and margins - your number stays yours.

24-48 hours for typical residential and TI projects; 3-5 business days for full commercial and multi-family packages. Rush delivery is available for tight bid dates.

From $150 for single-family, from $300 for commercial up to ~12,000 SF, custom quotes for multi-family, and $1,500/month for the Virtual Bid Manager program. Every fee is fixed and stated before work begins.

PDF, DWG, DXF and RVT (Revit). Scanned paper drawings work too. Partial sets are fine - we flag what's missing before starting.

PlanSwift and Bluebeam Revu for digital measurement, cross-checked against Gypsum Association assembly standards and manufacturer coverage data.

Excel (.xlsx), PDF or CSV - your choice. QuickBooks-friendly layouts and supplier-catalog naming available on request.

Materials always; labor-hour breakdowns by scope on request, built from production rates you can adjust to your own crews, union or open shop.

Within 48 hours of delivery, yes - returned within 24 hours. Addenda during bid periods are handled as revisions to the documents of record.

Clients verify roughly 98% bid accuracy across projects. Every takeoff runs against a wall-type checklist before delivery, and waste factors are shown separately so nothing hides in the counts.

All 50. Takeoffs are digital, so the 24-48 hour clock is identical in Manhattan and Montana. See the locations page for the metros we serve most.

Yes. Plans are used solely to produce your estimate, never shared, and NDAs are signed on request. On bid leveling work we never serve both sides of the same bid.

Yes - labor structures for union rates, Davis-Bacon and state prevailing wage formats, plus bid-form-ready alternates and unit prices for public work.

In depth: studs by web size, gauge and spacing, standard and deflection track, jambs, headers, kickers, bridging, backing and clips - organized per wall type and floor.

Yes - thermal and acoustic scopes separately: batts by R-value, mineral wool, rigid board and sound attenuation batts, each converted at true per-bag coverage.

Head-of-wall joints by LF per rating, penetrations by count and type, perimeter fire containment - referenced to the listed systems on your life safety drawings.

Yes, per tested assembly - channel LF, clips, sound batts, acoustical sealant and putty pads. On one recent project this scope alone exceeded 500,000 LF of RC-1.

Yes - DD and permit-set takeoffs with written assumptions, reconciled when CDs land so budget-to-bid variance has an explanation.

Send each addendum as it posts; we flag affected quantities and issue a revised takeoff so you bid the documents of record.

That's our bid leveling service - an independent takeoff plus a scope matrix that shows who covered what, with strict conflict-of-interest rules.

A dedicated coordinator running your bid pipeline monthly: invitations, addenda, takeoffs, vendor quotes and proposal assembly - an estimating department for $1,500/month, cancel anytime.

Yes - this site publishes a complete real material list from a $7.1M project, and we'll provide a sample matched to your project type on request.

Send plans via the contact page or email with your bid date. You'll have a fixed quote in 2-4 business hours; approve it and the takeoff enters the queue.

Yes - demolition quantities where demo drawings exist, patching, temporary partitions and phased-occupancy scopes counted per the phasing plan.

Contact your project manager - revisions within 48 hours are free, and we stand behind every number long past that window in practice.
