What Is Drywall?
Drywall, also known as gypsum board or sheetrock, is a widely used building material for interior walls and ceilings.
Made from gypsum sandwiched between paper layers, it became popular during World War II due to its affordability and ease of installation.
While standard drywall isn’t water-resistant, specialized types offer added protection against moisture, mold, fire, and sound.

How We Handle Drywall Estimating
We start by reviewing drawing plans and bid documents to understand the project scope. Using advanced software like Planswift, we measure walls, partitions, and ceilings accurately.
This minimizes errors and square footage calculations.
Quantities are exported to Excel spreadsheets, and organized by floors, wall types, partitions, and elevations.
We estimate materials like sheetrock panels, screws, mud, and beads. Pricing is based on RSMeans and our construction cost database, updated for location-specific costs.
Cannon Estimation includes local labor rates, transportation, painting, wastage, permits, taxes, and cleanup costs.

The Steps Involved In Drywall Estimation
At Cannon Estimation, we follow a clear, step-by-step process to ensure accurate drywall estimation and takeoffs. No matter you’re a builder, contractor, or homeowner, our method helps answer common questions like
“How much drywall do we need?” or “How do we measure drywall square footage?”
Here’s how we do it:
- Loading Plans
We start by uploading your project plans into advanced software like Planswift or Bluebeam.
The drawings are scaled accurately to match the provided dimensions.
- Marking Partition Walls
We identify and mark the lengths of different partition walls based on their thickness and type. This helps us categorize and measure each section separately.
- Calculating Drywall Sheets
We multiply the wall lengths by their height to determine the square footage. Openings like doors and windows are subtracted, and the total is divided by 32 (for 4×8 sheets) to get the number of sheets required.
- Estimating Metal and Wood Studs
We divide the wall lengths by the stud spacing (usually 16 inches) to calculate the number of studs needed. Stud height is taken from section details, typically 10 feet.
- Measuring Insulation
Wall lengths are multiplied by height to calculate batt insulation. Subtracting openings ensures precision in the final quantity.
- Taping and Joint Compound
We calculate taping by multiplying the perimeter of each sheet by the total number of sheets. The joint compound is estimated at 0.053 pounds per square foot of drywall.
- Drywall Screws
A simple rule of thumb is to divide the total drywall square footage by 300 to estimate the pounds of screws required.
- Corner Beads
We count the number of outside corners and choose corner beads in standard lengths (8’, 9’, or 10’) based on wall height.
