Expert Estimating You Can Rely On
Drywall estimating is more complex than it looks. Accurate takeoffs must account for wall heights, stud spacing, board orientation, waste factors, ceiling grid types, and finish level specifications, all of which significantly affect material quantities and labor hours. Tech MEP Estimates' drywall estimating team uses digital takeoff tools (Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift) to produce precise quantities for every wall, ceiling, and soffit on your project. We apply real regional labor rates and current material pricing to give you an estimate that protects your margins and helps you win more bids.
How We Deliver Your Estimate
Plan Review & Scope Clarification
We review architectural drawings, partition schedules, finish specifications, and UL assembly requirements to establish the full scope.
Digital Quantity Takeoff
Using Bluebeam Revu, we measure every wall, ceiling, and soffit area with accurate stud spacing, board count, and waste factors applied.
Detailed Estimate Report
You receive a line-item estimate with material quantities, labor hours by phase (framing, board, tape, finish), and subcontractor-ready pricing.
Our Track Record
500+ Projects Delivered Nationwide
Trusted by contractors, GCs, and developers across the country for accurate, timely cost estimates across every trade and project type.
Why Contractors Trust Us
Precise Waste Factors
We apply trade-accurate material waste factors for board, stud, track, and compound, preventing shortfalls that cause project delays.
Finish Level Expertise
We estimate labor for Level 1 through Level 5 finishes, understanding that L5 paint-ready surfaces require significantly more labor than a standard L4.
Healthcare & Clean Room Experience
Specialized experience with infection control partitions, lead-lined walls, and rated assemblies for hospitals, labs, and pharmaceutical facilities.
Phased & Tenant Work
We break estimates by floor, zone, or phase, critical for occupied building TI projects where sequencing affects labor productivity.
Current Material Pricing
Gypsum board and steel stud pricing fluctuates with market conditions. We update pricing weekly to ensure your estimate reflects today's costs.
48-Hour Delivery
Drywall estimates for most commercial projects delivered in 48 hours, even on short bid windows.
