Every drywall scope — board count calculated, ready to bid
ScopeTakeoff’s drywall estimating programs include pre-built assembly libraries for every major drywall scope. Enter your SF and let the drywall estimator software calculate board count, waste, fasteners, joint compound, tape, and labor automatically.
Drywall Hanging — Walls & Ceilings
1/2″, 5/8″, and Type X board on walls and ceilings. Board count calculated from SF with waste factor, deductions for openings, fastener count, and lift rental for ceiling work included automatically.
Metal Stud Framing
Metal stud framing by LF of wall or SF of ceiling grid. Track, studs, and blocking calculated from spacing selection. Includes fasteners, backing, and headers at openings — priced per LF or by opening count.
Taping & Finishing — Level 1–5
Taping and finishing priced by SF with finish level selection (Level 1 through Level 5). Joint compound, tape, corner bead, and labor rates adjust automatically by level — no manual pricing table required.
Texture Application
Orange peel, knockdown, skip trowel, and smooth finish textures priced by SF. Separate rates for spray vs. hand-applied texture. Primer and paint-ready surface prep included as optional line items.
Fire-Rated & Specialty Board
Type X, Type C, moisture-resistant, and abuse-resistant drywall assemblies with UL assembly reference. Shaft walls, stairwell enclosures, and corridor fire-rating assemblies included with correct board layer count.
Drywall Repair & Patching
Drywall repair and patching for remodel and tenant improvement work. Priced by SF or patch count with backing, compound, tape, and finish level. Commercial drywall repair assemblies for occupied space work.

The best drywall estimating software vs. Excel and generic tools
Most drywall contractors estimate in Excel or use generic construction software that has no drywall-specific assemblies. Here’s how purpose-built drywall contractor software compares.
| Feature | ScopeTakeoff | STACK CT | Excel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auto board count from SF | ✓ Built into every assembly | ✗ Manual | ✗ Manual formula |
| Level 1–5 finish pricing | ✓ Auto rate adjustment by level | ✗ Generic only | ✗ Manual lookup |
| Fire-rated assembly library | ✓ Type X, C, shaft walls, UL refs | ✗ No | ✗ Manual |
| Opening deducts from board count | ✓ Automatic | Partial | ✗ Manual |
| SOV output for GC submission | ✓ One click, broken out by scope | Partial | ✗ Manual |
| Monthly price | $100/person | $499–$699 | $0 (but slow) |
What drywall subs say about ScopeTakeoff
“The board count calculation is the whole value for me. I was doing that math in Excel and getting it wrong half the time. ScopeTakeoff just does it — enter the SF, select your board, done.”
“We do a lot of commercial tenant improvement work. The finish level selection is perfect — Level 3 in back-of-house, Level 4 in offices, Level 5 in exec suites. All priced correctly without a separate rate table.”
“At $100/month I honestly can’t believe more drywall guys aren’t using this. The SOV comes out exactly how the GC wants it — hang, tape, finish, texture as separate line items. Zero reformatting.”
