Take off the walls, ceilings, and details in your bid
Commercial interiors need length, area, and count measurements. Review each wall type and height on the digital plans, then check ceiling square footage, openings, and trim against the details. BuzzBID supports these takeoff quantities in your wall and ceiling estimate.
Drywall and metal framing
Use ClickONCE to take off individual wall partitions with a single click, or groups of connected partitions with a double-click.
- Take off partitions by the wall tag.
- Take off door assemblies.
- Count the corner bead and trim.
Acoustical ceilings
Take off ceiling-tile areas one room at a time with a single click, or across a plan page with a double-click.
- Measure room ceiling areas.
- Account for fixture and return cutouts.
- Use the resulting quantities in your estimate.
Build the estimate from your takeoff
In BuzzBID Advanced, takeoff quantities are available in the Estimate page. Use assembly-based estimating to apply material and labor costs, along with equipment, subcontract, and other costs.
Review material prices, labor rates, production, and overtime assumptions for the work you are pricing. Check cost breakdowns and reports, then prepare your proposal with the bid proposal generator.

What drives a commercial drywall estimate
A commercial drywall bid depends on more than square footage. Wall types and heights, framing, openings, corner bead and trim, ceiling areas, and labor conditions all change the number. When a revision changes a partition type or a ceiling height, the quantities and the labor behind them need a second look before the bid goes out.
BuzzBID Advanced makes your takeoff quantities available in the estimate, so you price the work from the same quantities you measured. To go deeper, read our guide to commercial drywall pricing per square foot and our comparison of metal framing estimating software.
