Drywall & Finishes
Layer count, finish level, fire rating — every detail.
Drywall is a high-volume / thin-margin trade. The difference between a Type X 5/8″ vs. shaftliner mistake is real money. OmniTakeoff reads the wall-type schedule and the UL assembly number so the takeoff matches the spec exactly.

What the takeoff produces
A drywall & finishes takeoff that survives review.
Every line item carries the source it came from — sheet, detail, and spec paragraph — so the senior estimator can audit in minutes, not hours.
- GWB layers by wall type, board thickness, fire rating
- Light-gauge metal framing by stud size, gauge, spacing
- Sound batt + acoustic sealant per spec section
- Finish level (GA-214 L1–L5) per location with primer SF
- Shaftwall / area-separation walls priced as their own scope
- Control + expansion joints in linear feet
Drywall & Finishes features
Built for the way your office actually bids.
UL assembly number parser
Wall-type schedule callouts (UL U419, etc.) drive board count, framing, and insulation per the actual UL design.
Finish-level awareness
L1 (taped joints) vs. L5 (skim coat) drive different labor unit and primer scope; the takeoff respects whichever the spec section calls.
Spec-paragraph linking
Each wall-type row points at the spec section + UL design that drove it.
Shaftwall split
Shaft-wall and area-separation assemblies report separately because labor and material costs differ from standard partitions.
Frequently asked
Questions we hear from estimators.
- Do you handle moisture-resistant gypsum (DensGlass) separately?
- Yes — moisture-resistant board is its own line; the takeoff respects per-room finish-schedule callouts.
