Construction software for drywall contractors — estimate board, mud, tape, and labor by the square foot with the right waste percentage and finish level (1 through 5) baked into the math. Built for drywall hangers, tapers, and finishers running new construction, remodels, and commercial fit-out.
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.
Board waste and mud waste depend on layout complexity and finish level — and they're easy to round down to zero in a rushed bid. When that happens, margins quietly 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.
A 9-foot ceiling takes one rate. A 14-foot vaulted ceiling needs stilts, scaffolds, or a lift — and crew production drops sharply. If your per-square-foot price ignores ceiling height, the tall-ceiling jobs lose money.
Some bids combine all four phases into one labor line. But a hanger's day rate isn't a finisher's day rate. When phases are blended, the bids that lean heavy on finishing eat into margin.
Stilts, drywall lifts, automatic tapers, and electric sanders each carry rental or ownership costs that have to be allocated per job. A per-square-foot price without equipment allocation works on small jobs and fails on the ones that need scaffolding.
Measure wall and ceiling surface area directly on the plans. Board count, mud volume, tape linear feet, and screw count flow through with waste % and finish level baked into the math.
Reusable assemblies for Level 3, 4, and 5 finishes — labor rate, prep work, and material yields per level. Pick the finish, drop into the estimate, get accurate numbers without rebuilding labor math per job.
Walls at one labor rate, ceilings at another. Drop in vaulted-ceiling and high-wall work as its own assembly with the right labor multiplier and stilts allocation. The tall-ceiling jobs price correctly without rebuilding the estimate from scratch.
Each phase can be its own assembly with its own crew, labor rate, and production rate. Bids show accurate phase-level cost instead of one blended labor line — so finishing-heavy jobs get priced correctly, not the same as rough-work jobs.
Generate proposals that clearly call out which walls get which finish level — no ambiguity on punch-list day. Clients sign digitally, scope locked in. Texture, ceiling type, and prep work all show up in the line items where they belong.
