Drywall Takeoff From the Plans You Already Have

A drywall takeoff is wall area plus ceiling area, turned into sheets. Upload the plan, set the scale from one dimension and the ceiling height, then click each room. The table shows wall and ceiling area per room, and the drywall takeoff converts them into sheet counts for 4x8, 4x10, or 4x12 board with a waste percentage you set. Enter material and labor cost per square foot to price the job, then export everything to CSV for your bid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about drywall takeoff with MeasureFloorPlan.

How does it count drywall sheets?

Wall area plus ceiling area for the room, plus your waste percentage, divided by the area of the sheet size you pick (32 sq ft for 4x8, 40 for 4x10, 48 for 4x12). Counts round up per room.

Are door and window openings deducted?

No. Wall area is gross, perimeter times ceiling height. Many drywall estimators leave openings in to cover waste and offcuts. If you net them out, subtract them from the total.

Can I skip ceilings?

The table lists wall and ceiling area separately, so you can bid walls only from the wall column. The sheet count in the drywall takeoff covers both surfaces.

Does it handle multi-floor plans?

Yes. Each level gets its own scale, and the totals row adds up every room on every level.
