Our Story
Drywall Takeoff & Estimating Built for Queens Contractors
Queens has airport terminal work at JFK, the Willets Point redevelopment, and dense mixed-use growth in Flushing and Jamaica, plus a large stock of one- to three-family homes. We prepare drywall estimates for that full range of work, from Jamaica and Flushing mixed-use to smaller jobs in Bayside and Ridgewood.
High-rise drywall in Queens involves repeated assemblies across many floors, so we organize quantities by UL assembly and level, making both pricing and production planning straightforward. Near the water in the area, wall systems often switch to moisture-resistant products, and our takeoffs track where each board type goes.
Our drywall estimators use Bluebeam Revu, PlanSwift, and On-Screen Takeoff to build each Queens takeoff, and they read the drawings with the NYC Construction Codes in mind, including fire-rated and sound-rated assemblies, shaft walls, and firestopping. Where the scope involves DOB NOW filings, sidewalk sheds, or Local Law 97 compliance, those costs are flagged so they are not missed at bid time. You receive an Excel workbook and marked-up PDFs, so every drywall number can be checked.
With a 98% bid-hit ratio across more than 5,000 U.S. projects, Remote Estimation gives Queens contractors professional drywall estimating capacity without the cost of an in-house department, and we work the same way for firms in neighborhoods such as Astoria and Flushing. Labor assumptions for the drywall scope are yours to choose: union, prevailing wage, or open shop. Inside the five boroughs, city-funded jobs use the Comptroller's prevailing wage schedules, and union labor is common on private work too.
