Boards, Framing & Finishing

Standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated, and impact-resistant board separated by area.
Metal Stud & Track Framing
Stud gauges, lengths, track, and bracing quantified wall by wall.
Ceiling Systems
Suspended grid, hung drywall ceilings, and bulkhead details measured.
Finishing Levels
Level 1–5 finish requirements priced separately by area.
Accessories & Fasteners
Corner bead, control joints, screws, tape, and compound included.
Labour Hour Projections
Hang, tape, and finish hours based on productivity rates.
Why Choose Estimating Canada
Built For Contractors Who Need It Right
Drywall estimating services for Canadian contractors
Drywall looks simple on a plan, but the price depends on what is inside the wall: stud gauge, board type, fire rating, sound insulation and the level of finish. A building with ten wall types does not price like one wall type repeated.
We prepare drywall takeoffs by wall type, board type and finish level, in square feet, so you can price each assembly properly.
| What we count and price
| Canadian drywall detail
| Quantities by wall type
Takeoffs are grouped by the wall type tags on the drawings, so the framer, the boarder and the finisher can each price their part. Board, framing and finishing are separate lines.
| Waste and finish level
Waste is shown as its own line and depends on layout. It is usually up to about 10% for board that is cut around openings and corners. A higher level of finish, such as Level 4 or Level 5 on walls under critical lighting, adds labour and compound, and we price it as a separate line from standard taping.
| Timing
Small drywall takeoffs are normally ready in about 4 to 6 hours and larger projects in 6 to 48 hours, depending on size and urgency.
Frequently asked questions
