Why learn it
Outsourcing vs. your own system
Outsourced takeoffs
- You pay again on every bid
- You wait on someone else's schedule
- Prices and assemblies aren't yours
- Hard to check what's in the numbers
Your own estimating system
- Assemblies built with your real material and labor prices
- Bid when you want, as many jobs as you want
- You understand every line in the estimate
- A setup your team can keep using
What you'll estimate
The full Division 9 interiors scope
For new construction, renovations and tenant fit-outs.
- Gypsum board walls, ceilings and soffits
- Light- and heavy-gauge metal stud framing
- Taping and finishing, Level 1 to Level 5
- Acoustical ceiling tile (ACT) and grid
- Specialty and decorative ceilings

The system you keep
From quote request to follow-up
More than a takeoff
We set up the whole estimating workflow with you: organizing plan files, project checklists, the PlanSwift takeoff, vendor quotes, final review, the proposal and follow-ups.
It works with the tools you already use, like PlanSwift, Bluebeam or OST, plus Excel or Google Sheets.

FAQ
Drywall estimating questions
Should I outsource drywall estimating or learn to do it myself?
Outsourcing works for a one-off bid, but you pay again every time and the numbers aren't yours. If you bid regularly, building your own PlanSwift system with your prices is faster and cheaper over time. That's what our training is for.
Do I need estimating experience to start the training?
No. We start where you are today and work on your real bids, whether you're new to PlanSwift or already using it.
Is the training available in Spanish?
Yes. Sessions are live on screen share, in Spanish or English.
What will I be able to estimate?
Drywall, light- and heavy-gauge metal framing, taping and finishing from Level 1 to Level 5, acoustical ceilings and specialty ceilings.
Do you still offer drywall takeoff services?
Yes, on a limited basis. Send your plans through the quote form and we'll confirm availability and the project price before any work starts.
