A takeoff you can check
Plans and photos become a board count you can edit line by line. Timber does not pretend that a laser measurement was taken from a photograph.
Drywall services
Timber reads the room from photos and prices the hang and finish.
Water cuts, board, taping and paint sit in the estimate pile for days. Timber reads the room from photos or a plan, prices hanging and finishing against your own book or researched local rates, books the crew, and drafts the invoice when they text that the last coat is on.
Sqft
Square footage estimated from a photo or a plan, which you then confirm.
Tiers
Level 4 or level 5 finish, fire-rated board and moisture-resistant board.
Crew
Hanging today and taping tomorrow, booked as separate days.
Five days, one word
The customer hears drywall; the crew needs five separate days.
Hanging, drying, taping, sanding and painting are separate days with separate labour. Booking them as one block is how a company loses a Friday and delays an invoice.
1
Day 1
Hang
The board goes on the wall and the sheets are counted as they are hung.
2
Day 2
Tape
The first coat goes on, along with the corner bead and the joints that matter.
3
Day 3
Dry
Drying is a real day on the calendar rather than an assumption.
4
Day 4
Sand
The finish is sanded to level 4 or level 5, and that choice is priced as a choice.
5
Day 5
Paint
The last coat closes the job and releases the invoice.
The estimate pile
Why drywall estimates sit until the patch is already late.
The hole is already in the wall. The number is still written from memory, and hanging and taping are still one block on the calendar.
The takeoff is a guess
Photos and a floor plan sit in an inbox, and the board count waits for someone with a scale ruler and a free afternoon.
The finish level is argued about later
Level 4 or level 5, matching the texture, and whether paint is included get discussed after the quote has gone out, usually during the snagging.
Water-loss extras get dropped
Containment and demolition belong on the same ticket as the board. When they are left off the quote, the company absorbs them.
The days get collapsed into one
Hanging, drying, taping, sanding and painting turn into the word “drywall”. The customer hears one day, and the crew needs four.
How it runs
Photos go in and a board count you can edit comes back.
This is a starting takeoff rather than a laser measurement. You confirm the square footage before the quote leaves, and insurance work still gets a field measure.
Your price book
Per-square-foot rates for hanging, taping and painting are written once. Change the skill and the next quote follows it, with moisture-resistant and fire-rated board as lines rather than a Saturday surprise.
01
Measure the opening
Send photos of the cut-out, a floor plan or a walkthrough clip. Timber estimates the board count and the finish level, then asks about ceiling height, texture match and whether paint is in scope.
- Takeoff from photos
- Finish level
- Paint included or not
02
Price the board
Material and labour come from the rates in your skill or from researched local rates. Moisture-resistant and fire-rated board are line items on the quote rather than a surprise on the invoice.
- Board and compound
- Labour by the day
- The extras that get forgotten
03
Book the days
The crew goes on the calendar and texts their progress. You send the customer the update that says sanding happens tomorrow, and the invoice is drafted when they report the paint is on.
- Multi-day schedule
- Customer updates
- Close-out invoice
- 1Read the room from photos or a plan, then ask about height, texture and paint
- 2Price hanging, taping and the extras from your book or researched rates
- 3You confirm the takeoff and send it, or wait for a site measure
- 4Book hanging, taping and painting as real days, and invoice on the last coat
Assemblies
The walls a drywall company already hangs.
Residential patches, flood cuts and commercial corridors — the assembly is stored in a skill you write.
Water-loss cut and hang
- Demolition and containment beside the board
- Moisture-resistant board called out
- Quoted on the same job as the dry-out
- One insurance record for the whole job
Residential finish
- Level 4 or level 5 offered as a real choice
- Texture matching priced as a line
- Paint included or excluded before you send
- Snagging handled on the same project
Commercial assemblies
- Metal stud and fire-rated build-ups in a skill
- Corridor and unit rates priced separately
- After-hours work if the building requires it
- No assumption of residential half-inch board
Paint and snagging
- The last coat releases the invoice
- A cracked corner books a callback
- Photos of the finish kept on the job
- A customer update that you still send
Capabilities
What the drywall desk actually does.
Your own price book
A skill stores your per-square-foot rates for hanging, taping and painting. Change the skill and the next quote follows it.
Water-loss extras on the same quote
When the job started as a flood cut, restoration lines such as containment and demolition sit next to the drywall on one quote.
The days booked in sequence
Hanging, drying, taping, sanding and painting go on the calendar as real days instead of one block called drywall.
Materials recorded against the job
The crew texts how many sheets they used and the job costing updates, so you can see which jobs ate into the truck stock.
Snagging without a new email thread
When the customer reports a cracked corner, Timber drafts the callback and books it against the same project.
Stays with you
The measurement
Square footage from a photo is a starting point that you confirm. Insurance work still gets a field measure.
Stays with you
The texture
Timber asks which texture the job needs and prices the match. It will not decide that a wall is orange peel from a dark photo.
Stays with you
The assembly
Commercial metal stud build-ups live in a skill you write. Timber will not assume residential half-inch board on a specified job.
Drywall is measured in days and square feet, not in one line that says patch.
The estimate pile is where drywall companies leave money. A water cut needs demolition, moisture-resistant board, hanging, taping and paint, all priced, sequenced and explained. A number written from memory is how you win the job and lose the week.
Timber reads the photos or the plan and drafts a board count. It asks about the finish level, the texture, the ceiling height and whether paint is included. Your skill holds the per-square-foot rates. Water-loss extras stay on the same quote as the restoration file, so you are not writing two tickets for one hole.
The calendar gets real days. The crew texts the sheets they hung and the coats they put on. The customer gets the message saying that sanding is tomorrow, drafted for you to send. The invoice waits for the last coat rather than for somebody's memory on Friday.

It is a starting takeoff. You confirm it before the quote leaves, and for insurance work a field measure still decides the number.
