DRYWALL ESTIMATING EXPERTISE
Eliminate Bidding Mistakes With Exact Gypsum Board & Framing Quantities.
Bidding commercial interior systems and residential drywall requires granular attention to detail. A miscalculation in wall heights, failing to account for fire-rated assemblies (Type X/C), or missing ceiling board square footage can devour contractor margins. Archixen delivers fast, accurate, and comprehensive drywall quantity takeoffs directly from your project blueprints.
Our drywall estimating team utilizes industry-leading digital software (PlanSwift, Bluebeam Revu, and On-Center On-Screen Takeoff) to calculate exact square footages for wallboards, metal studs, track, acoustic insulation, joint compound, and taping accessories. We account for waste factors, board sizes (4×8, 4×10, 4×12), sheet thickness (1/2″, 5/8″), moisture-resistant boards, and cement backer boards.
Delivered entirely online in organized, fully editable Excel spreadsheets with color-coded Bluebeam plan markups, our takeoffs allow contractors and suppliers to apply custom labor productivity rates and material pricing instantly. Win more wallboard contracts with complete confidence in your numbers.
