Estimate board, mud, tape, and labor by the square foot with waste and finish-level baked in. Built for drywall crews running new construction and remodels.
Ceiling height, finish level, and wall complexity all change the labor rate. A flat per-square-foot price hides the jobs that actually lose money.
5-10% waste is industry standard for board; mud waste depends on finish level. When these get rounded down to zero, margins disappear.
A garage at level 2 isn't priced like a great room at level 5. One labor rate across the whole job means you're either over-bidding the rough work or under-bidding the finished spaces.
Mark up plans on a tablet or laptop. Linear feet, area, and count — no more printed sheets and a measuring wheel. Numbers flow straight into the estimate.
Bundle labor, materials, and equipment into one line item you can drop into any estimate. Your real production rates, not a generic database.
Generate a clean, client-ready proposal from the estimate. No copy-pasting numbers into Word or Excel — the proposal stays in sync with the bid.
