Estimator worksheet
- Purchase unit
- one 4 x 8 ft sheet
- Gross basis
- 32 gross square ft per sheet before layout, cuts, openings, breakage, and waste
- Quantity method
- Lay out walls and ceilings as separate groups. Divide gross surface area by 32 only as a check, then round each reviewed sheet category up after orientation, openings, cuts, and waste.
- Cost method
- Multiply each sheet category by its observed per-sheet price; keep specialty board, tax, delivery, lift, stocking, trim, compound, fasteners, labor, and waste separate.
Scope checks before ordering
- Do not pool regular, Type X, moisture-resistant, abuse-resistant, shaft, or cementitious panels.
- Review wall and ceiling sheet counts separately because pooled rounding can understate the order.
Do not merge unlike products
- Exclude fire-rated Type X, mold-resistant, abuse-resistant, cement, and specialty boards.
- Do not normalize a different sheet length without publishing it as a different material.
- Disclose minimum-order, lift, and delivery pricing.
Before using a price
Confirm board type, assembly requirements, sheet length, edge, lift quantities, boom or placement charges, stocking access, and damage policy.
