Drywall contractors and estimators have long relied on experience and laborious methods to determine accurate board counts. But as job complexity increases and material waste becomes more scrutinized, precision in estimating has never been more critical. Active Estimating rises to this challenge by offering a streamlined, data-driven intelligence platform that calculates precise board counts by type and thickness—eliminating guesswork and inefficiency.

Why Accurate Board Counts Matter

Every square foot of drywall installed represents a cost in material, labor, and logistics. Miscalculations—even small ones—can lead to overages that tie up capital or shortages that delay schedules. Active Estimating ensures that board counts are not only accurate but also categorized clearly by type and thickness, giving contractors a real-time snapshot of material needs tailored to each project’s unique specifications.

How It Works

• Board data is automatically categorized by both type (e.g., standard, moisture-resistant) and thickness (e.g., 5/8″, 1/2″).
• Estimators receive segmented board summaries that eliminate the need for manual sorting.
• Quantities reflect exact conditions per floor, area, or building—enabling procurement teams to order precisely what’s needed.
•  Supports scenarios where multiple board types and sizes are used across partitions, ceilings, shafts, and other areas.

Precision Without Complexity

While traditional systems require users to piece together quantities from fragmented reports or use external tools, Active Estimating simplifies the process into a single, coherent flow. Estimators get instant feedback as they define conditions, with automatic board type recognition and continuous quantity updates.

Empowering Teams with Transparency

Through segmented outputs and data visualizations, project managers and purchasing departments gain better visibility into material needs—organized by specification and by area. This reduces friction between estimating, purchasing, and field operations, helping ensure that everyone is aligned with the same accurate data.

Benefits at a Glance

• Drastically reduces material waste by eliminating estimation errors.
• Improves bidding accuracy and profitability by using precise board counts.
• Supports large-scale, multi-condition projects with high granularity.

Built for Commercial Complexity

This feature is particularly valuable in commercial projects where various board specifications are used across different scopes. From high-rise buildings with shaft wall systems to mixed-use facilities requiring soundproofing and fire-rated assemblies, estimators can quickly identify the correct board type and thickness required for each application.

Data-Driven Estimating, Done Right

With a focus on clarity, organization, and speed, Active Estimating equips teams with the insights they need to operate with confidence. The ability to generate precise board counts by type and thickness is not just a feature—it’s a critical advantage in an industry where every detail counts.
