How Our Drywall Estimators Help Albany Contractors Win More Bids
As the capital, Albany's work is led by state-agency projects, Albany NanoTech semiconductor research, and medical and university campuses, much of it publicly bid with prevailing wages. That's the market we estimate for every day, building drywall takeoffs for projects from State of New York office modernization to Albany Medical Center expansion.
Older Albany buildings rarely have straight walls. Our takeoffs include furring, shimming, plaster patching, and skim coating where the drawings call for it. On cold-climate local projects, exterior walls often include more insulation and vapor control, and our takeoffs carry those with the drywall.
Our drywall estimators use Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff to build each Albany takeoff, and they read the drawings with the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code in mind, including fire-rated and sound-rated assemblies, shaft walls, and firestopping. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every drywall number can be checked.
More than 500 contractors nationwide use our drywall and construction estimating services to bid more work with fewer people. For Albany firms, that means accurate drywall numbers in 24 to 72 hours, delivered by estimators who understand Albany County. Labor assumptions for the drywall scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. Prevailing wage rates for public work in New York State come from the Department of Labor, organized by county and trade. Your first drywall estimate is 10% off.
