AI-powered estimating for commercial drywall and metal framing contractors. Automate board count takeoffs, calculate stud and track requirements, and catch contract language that kills your margin.
Commercial drywall means thousands of sheets across multiple floor plans with varying heights, fire-ratings, and moisture requirements. Miscounting boards, underestimating waste on complex geometries, or missing a layer on a fire-rated assembly means absorbing $5K-$15K in extra material.
Stud gauge, spacing, track sizes, deflection heads, bracing, and blocking requirements change by wall type and height. A 20-foot demising wall is a completely different scope than an 8-foot office partition. Missing the gauge upgrade or deflection track on tall walls is money out of your pocket.
Drywall hanging speed varies dramatically by wall height, board size, fire-rating layers, and ceiling type. A crew hanging 12-foot board on scaffolding produces at half the rate of standard 8-foot walls. Without trade-specific labor tracking, your bids are built on guesses.
Specs call for specific UL assemblies — 1-hour, 2-hour, STC-rated walls. Contract language often shifts full assembly compliance liability to the drywall sub. Missing an acoustic sealant detail or wrong resilient channel spacing means tearing out and rebuilding at your cost.
Built by people who understand the trade. Every feature solves a real problem drywall contractors deal with every week.
Upload plans. Our AI identifies every wall, calculates board quantities by type (regular, Type X, moisture-resistant, abuse-resistant), factors waste by complexity, and generates complete material lists. Finish in minutes what takes hours by hand.
Automatic stud and track calculations by wall type — gauge, spacing, height, deflection heads, and bracing requirements. Our AI knows that 25-gauge at 24" OC isn't the same bid as 20-gauge at 16" OC on a 14-foot wall.
Different assemblies produce at different rates. Our AI tracks your actual productivity by wall type, height, and complexity, then applies those rates to new bids. Stop using generic SF/hour numbers that don't match reality.
Our AI cross-references contract language against specified UL assemblies, acoustic requirements, and fire-rating specs. Flags clauses that shift assembly compliance liability before you sign.
Provide architectural drawings with wall types and finish schedules. PDF or image files accepted.
Our AI reads wall types, calculates board counts, stud quantities, and identifies fire-rated assemblies. Complete takeoff in minutes.
Combine AI takeoff with material pricing and your labor rates. Submit competitive bids and track assemblies through completion.
