As a drywall contractor, you always look for ways to enhance your business and profits in the construction industry. The drywall contractor’s reputation for completing good quality work with big fish like General Contractors, Developers, and builders greatly matters in earning him a good business. To achieve that target, a contractor must ensure precise, accurate and on-spot bidding numbers to boost the business. BIDWINSOLUTIONS helps its drywall clients win high-rise commercial and residential apartments, schools and multiple development projects with a high bid-win ratio. Let’s thoroughly look into the drywall estimating and how we can help you win bids with high profits.
With around 7 years of experience in the construction estimating industry, BIDWINSOLUTIONS drywall estimating team has expertise in comprehensive and detailed drywall takeoffs. The drywall estimating team establishes highly accurate estimates by focusing on exact quantities after critical review by team leaders and preparing cost estimates by considering the labor and equipment productivity and competitive material quotes from suppliers. Practical knowledge of crew compositions and their on-field productivities also help our team prepare highly competitive bids in competition with other drywall contractors. Our team also follows the guidelines of the American Association of Cost Engineers (AACE) and remains up-to-date with the changing dynamics of the construction industry.
Any construction project, either residential or commercial, is incomplete without the finishes, and drywall and its finishes are the significant components of the CSI Division 9 finishes trade. There are multiple types of drywall, and it is available in sheets dimensions 4 feet x 8 feet or 4 feet x 10 feet. We will discuss them in more detail below:

Our team of dedicated drywall estimators always focuses on bid deadlines, any budgetary constraints, labor and equipment rates according to the zip code, on-field productivity based on professional construction and project management considering any delays, early start and finish activities, local material supplier quotes, mobilization charges and at the end achieving good profit margins. Our team also focuses on bid results, plan updates, requests for information (RFIs), and competitors’ prices to let our clients win more jobs. In short, we make data sheets for any factor involved in drywall estimating to finalize on-site construction to improve our services with time. That is why our drywall contractor family highly trust our bids.
An estimator should be well-equipped with the drywall installation process before preparing an estimate. Our first aim is always to hire a field knowledge-based experienced estimator, and then he has to pass through many learning processes before starting a drywall takeoff. After gaining sufficient knowledge, using the point-and-click method, an estimator uses the latest takeoff software like Planswift, Bluebeam and onscreen takeoff to measure walls and ceilings. The software is user-friendly and helps us mitigate any chances of errors. All the takeoff quantities are exported to Excel sheets, and the format is prepared per clients’ demand, for example, floor-wise estimates, wall types partition-wise, and sometimes unit-wise.
As discussed in the first paragraph, prices are calculated using the on-field labor, equipment productivity and labor hours. We also use RSMeans and localized construction rates based on zip codes to enrich our estimates with detailed pricing. The chief estimator also uses value engineering to increase bid win chances and profit potential.
Hiring an in-house estimator is quite expensive nowadays in the US market. Our team can provide a higher number of estimates on half of the expense as compared to an in-house estimator. We provide the facility of a dedicated estimator to our drywall contractors, who bid regularly. This estimator is always accompanied by a senior estimator for takeoff review, a pricing head for cost estimating, and, surprisingly, a helper estimator to share the burden of bidding without extra charges. This hierarchical distribution of estimators allows us to increase the number of estimating projects per week and month for a very affordable estimating fee.
BIDWINSOLUTIONS strives to serve the estimating clients in the best possible way. Our drywall contractors’ family get the following benefits while working with us:
