Why drywall takeoff is different

Your trade has its own units. So does the AI.

Drywall estimating comes down to board square footage and finish levels, and there's a lot of it. You're scaling every wall and ceiling off the plans, measuring both faces, breaking out 1/2-inch from 5/8-inch and Type X, then figuring how many 4x8 or 4x12 sheets that actually buys after waste. On top of the board you're counting mud, tape, corner bead, and screws, and deciding whether each room is a Level 3, 4, or 5 finish — because the hang is the easy part and the finish is where the labor hours hide. Miss the ceiling height on a stairwell or forget the demising walls and your sheet count is short before you start. P2P reads the floor plans and reflected ceiling plans, measures board area surface by surface, applies your sheet size, finish level, and waste factor, and prices the hang and finish against your own labor and material rates — so you bid a drywall job in minutes instead of an evening counting sheets.

What you get

From drywall plans to a bid-ready number.

Automatic board takeoff

Upload the plans and the AI measures wall and ceiling board square footage room by room, separates 1/2-inch, 5/8-inch, and Type X, and converts area into sheet counts with your waste factor.

Finish levels and accessories

Set the finish level per room and your rates for mud, tape, corner bead, and screws, so the estimate reflects the real labor difference between a Level 4 and a Level 5.

Questions

Drywall estimating — FAQ

How does AI count drywall board square footage?
P2P reads the floor plans and reflected ceiling plans to measure wall and ceiling area surface by surface, then converts that area into sheet counts using your sheet size and waste factor.
Can it tell the difference between finish levels?
Yes. You set the finish level per room — Level 3, 4, or 5 — and the estimate applies your mud, tape, and labor rates so the finishing hours match how you actually price the job.
Does it handle 5/8-inch and Type X board?
Yes. The takeoff separates 1/2-inch, 5/8-inch, and Type X fire-rated board so demising walls, shaft walls, and rated assemblies price with the right material.
How much does a drywall estimate cost?
Roughly $25–$75 per estimate depending on the size of the plan set, drawn from your credit balance. Plans start free and you only pay for estimates you run.
Do I need an account to try it?
No. Upload a blueprint and get a free drywall takeoff with no login. Create an account when you want to save, re-price, and send the estimate.
How accurate is the drywall takeoff?
It's built to get you ~90% of the way to a bid in minutes. Every estimate is a draft you review and adjust before sending — the AI removes the counting grind, you keep final judgment.
