Our Story
How Our Drywall Estimators Help Rochester Contractors Win More Bids
Rochester's downtown office-to-residential conversions, URMC expansion, and Eastman Business Park reuse all involve working with older structures in a heavy-snow climate. Our drywall estimators work with drywall contractors, framing and acoustical subcontractors, and general contractors across Rochester, pricing jobs tied to University of Rochester Medical Center, Eastman Business Park, and downtown adaptive reuse.
Renovating Rochester's older buildings means plaster demolition, furring out uneven walls, patching existing surfaces, and fitting new partitions into existing conditions. We separate demolition, furring, and new work so these labor-heavy items are visible. 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 Rochester 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.
Hiring an in-house drywall estimator is expensive, and missing a bid deadline is worse. Our remote team covers Rochester with fast, itemized drywall estimates and a 98% bid-hit ratio, and we serve nearby Henrietta and Brighton as well. We can price drywall labor at union, prevailing-wage, or open-shop rates. On public work in New York, rates come from the State Department of Labor's prevailing wage schedules, and some privately built projects with significant public funding now fall under them too.
