Our Story
Drywall Takeoff & Estimating Built for Jersey City Contractors
Jersey City is home base for Remote Estimation — our office is on Wayne Street — so we know how Hudson County podium towers, tight Downtown laydown space, and flood-zone requirements change a bid. For drywall contractors, framing and acoustical subcontractors, and general contractors, that makes accurate drywall quantities on Journal Square and waterfront high-rises and similar projects essential to winning work at a profit.
High-rise drywall in Jersey City involves repeated assemblies across many floors, so we organize quantities by UL assembly and level, making both pricing and production planning straightforward. The area's coastal humidity and flood exposure often lead to mold-resistant and moisture-resistant boards, with flood-damage-resistant materials below design flood elevation.
Under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code (UCC), small details add up: fire-rated and sound-rated assemblies, shaft walls, and firestopping. We catch them during the drywall takeoff instead of after the award. Measurements are done in Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff and summarized in Excel for your Jersey City bid.
Hiring an in-house drywall estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Jersey City with fast, itemized drywall estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve nearby Newark and Union City as well. Labor assumptions for the drywall scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. Public jobs in New Jersey follow the state Prevailing Wage Act, and redevelopment projects that receive public assistance often do too.
