Estimating drywall costs can be tricky. With fluctuating material prices and labor rates, inaccurate estimates can easily throw your project off course.

We take our time to estimate the amount of material required, the cost of labor or manpower, and the amount of wastage that may likely occur so as to keep the project within your budget.

Case Studies
>1: High-rise Mixed-Use Building Drywall Estimate
Client: Urban Core Developers
Project Type: 20-storey mixed-use tower (residential + retail)
Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA
Scope: Full drywall take-off including metal studs, gypsum board, acoustic ceilings, partitions, taping & finishing.
Challenge:
Urban Core Developers faced tight budget constraints and a compressed schedule for their mixed-use high-rise. The drywall scope was complex: multiple ceiling heights, retail zones with high acoustical/finish requirements, and overlapping MEP systems. They needed a highly accurate estimate early in pre-construction to lock in materials, labour and avoid cost overruns.
Solution:
Prime Estimation’s drywall team reviewed all architectural and MEP drawings, created a detailed quantity take-off of gypsum board panels (various types), metal stud framing, ceiling grids, and finishing. They applied regional labour rates and included waste factors for materials in high-rise vertical zones. The team provided layered cost breakdowns by floor-zone (retail lower levels, resident floors above) and a fast turnaround to match the client’s tight schedule.
Results:
Delivered the full drywall estimate within 48 hours of data receipt.
The estimate helped the client negotiate material orders and lock in pricing, resulting in ~9% cost savings compared to their preliminary budget.
The detailed breakdown allowed the contractor to identify high-risk zones (retail façade ceilings) and allocate contingency accordingly.
Client reported improved bidding confidence and fewer change orders during construction.
Client Feedback:
“Prime Estimation’s breakdown gave us clarity and control. We were able to specify our drywall budget with confidence and avoided major surprises.” — Senior Project Manager, Urban Core Developers
>2: Institutional Renovation – University Campus Drywall
Client: State University Facilities Division
Project Type: Major renovation of academic building on campus
Location: Austin, Texas, USA
Scope: Drywall estimating for renovation of 3 floors: lecture halls, labs, corridors; includes new partitions, refurbishment of ceilings, fire-rated assemblies.
Challenge:
The university renovation project had tight sequencing (summer break) and required fire-rated drywall assemblies, specialized acoustical finishes in lecture halls, and complex ceiling soffits and bulkheads. The facilities team needed accurate quantities and cost estimate to secure budget approval and schedule contractor bids.
Solution:
Prime Estimation executed a full drywall take-off focusing on: fire-rated board types, metal stud partitioning, acoustic ceiling systems, reproduction of existing finishes, and allowance for demolition/rework zones. A detailed labour cost model was included, recognizing the special finishing work in labs and lecture halls. The estimate was formatted to align with the university’s procurement and bid-pack structure.
Results:
Delivered the take-off and cost estimate in 72 hours.
Estimate accuracy allowed the university to reduce contingency from 12% to 6%, freeing budget for additional scope (student lounge upgrade).
The contractor responding to bids commended the clarity of the drywall-scope estimate, facilitating quicker sub-contractor pricing.
The project remained on schedule with minimal drywall-related change orders.
Client Feedback:
“Prime Estimation’s work was a key factor in our bid-pack and budget approval. Their team understood the special requirements of institutional drywall and delivered a professional take-off on short notice.” — Director of Capital Projects, State University
