Drywall and plasterboard quantity takeoff

A workflow for specialist contractors

Drywall and plasterboard contractors need to measure partitions, ceilings and linings while keeping track of openings and project changes. KutchCAD supports a plan-based workflow that connects measured quantities to the work items used in your quotation.

Use digital drawings, PDF plans or scanned documents as a basis for the project. Check the scale, identify the elements to quantify and apply the calculation rules appropriate to your methods.

Organise your assemblies and quantities

• Measure surfaces, lengths and individual items from the project.
• Account for relevant openings in your measurement method.
• Organise libraries for partitions, linings, ceilings and insulation.
• Create your own work items and calculation rules.
• Prepare quantities and technical descriptions for the quotation workflow.
• Use supported estimating software connections to reduce repeated entry.

Review changes with the project in view

Keeping a visual project representation alongside quantities helps your team review changes in scope. A revised partition or ceiling can be checked against the quantities and descriptions used in the estimate.

Bring a representative drywall project to a demonstration. EDICAD can show the drawing, library and calculation workflow and help you assess its suitability for new-build or renovation work.
