Sample drywall takeoff
A real takeoff we did from a public plan set: Highline College Building 23 tenant improvement, Level 3 (sheet A3.01, design development set, 1/8" = 1'-0"). Blue = new A1 partitions, green = F4 exterior furring.
- A1 partitions: 522 LF, 5/8" Type X both sides, 13'-1" to deck (assumed) = 13,650 SF board
- F4 exterior furring: 144 LF = 1,886 SF board (total 15,536 SF)
- About 357 sheets of 4x12 incl. 10% waste, 699 studs, 1,332 LF track
- Openings not deducted (noted on the sheet)

Sample. Not an accuracy claim. Check any takeoff against your bid set before pricing.
What is in a drywall takeoff
Every wall run measured and grouped by wall type, board area per type and layer, ceiling area, and the linear items (corner bead, J-trim, control joints). You get it as an Excel sheet you can drop into your own pricing, plus the plan with each counted area marked.
Drywall estimating vs takeoff
We count; you price. Your material costs, labor rates and markup stay yours. That keeps the bid in your hands and the quantities quick to check.

Questions
Do you follow the wall type schedule?
Yes. Walls are grouped by the types on your plan. If the schedule is missing or unclear, we flag it on the sheet instead of guessing.
What files do you take?
PDF plan sets are best. We also take image files (PNG, JPG, TIFF). For large sets, paste a Dropbox, Google Drive or plan room link in the form.
How fast do I get it?
Within 48 hours of the plan reaching us. Tell us your bid date in the form.
What do I get back?
An Excel quantity sheet and a marked-up plan PDF, so you can see what was counted where.
How do I check the takeoff?
Every quantity on the sheet points to a marked-up area on the plan. Spot-check any room or roof plane against the drawing before you price it.
What does it cost after the free plan?
$100 a plan, or $399 a month for up to 10 plans. No contract.
Do you price the job for me?
Yes, if you want. By default we do the quantities and you price them; send your material prices, labor rates and markup and we add the pricing.
Is my plan kept private?
Your plans are used only for your takeoff and are never shared. Ask and we delete them.
