Drywall estimating has its own headaches
It all lives in the square footage, board yield and labor. Here is what OneEstimate fixes.
Counting sheets, studs and screws by hand
Working out how many sheets, feet of track and screws per square foot is tedious. With per-sf assemblies the material is calculated automatically from yield.
Measuring walls and ceilings on a PDF
Pulling partition and ceiling areas by hand is slow. Measure the surfaces on the plan and the quantities flow into your line items.
Yields that change by wall type
A single-layer, double-layer or fire-rated wall yields differently. With editable assemblies per wall type you bid consistently and defensibly.
Bids that don’t look professional
A branded PDF with a per-room breakdown and total square footage wins more work than a thrown-together spreadsheet.
Built for drywall
Everything a drywall and ceiling contractor needs to bid fast and win the job.
Drywall assemblies by the square foot
Standard, moisture-resistant and fire-rated board, metal framing, insulation, screws, tape and mud — with material, labor and productivity, and fully editable.
On-screen takeoff from plans
Upload the plan as a PDF or image, calibrate the scale once, and measure partition and ceiling areas. Every square foot feeds its line item.
Material prices you control
Board, framing, insulation and mud: update the price in your database and every estimate uses the new value.
AI that identifies line items
Describe the scope ("2,000 sf office build-out with drop ceiling") and the AI proposes line items and quantities so you don’t start from scratch.
Breakdown by room or wall type
Organize the estimate the way you work: by room, by floor or by wall type. Total clarity for you and the client.
Export branded PDF & Excel
Send a professional proposal with your logo in one click, or export to Excel if the client asks.
From plan to proposal in 4 steps
The same workflow contractors use after dropping the spreadsheet.
1. Upload the plan
Load the architectural plan as a PDF or image and calibrate the scale once.
2. Measure surfaces
Trace partition and ceiling areas directly on the drawing.
3. Build the estimate
Square footage drops into ready assemblies; adjust board yield and material prices.
4. Send the proposal
Export a professional branded PDF with a per-room breakdown. Ready to win.
