What does a drywall estimate include?
A drywall estimate can include gypsum board, metal studs and track, insulation, shaftwalls, ceilings, taping, finishing, trims, accessories, labor, equipment, and project-specific scope notes.
Can DEKR estimate metal framing with drywall?
Yes. DEKR measures studs, track, furring, deflection track, soffit framing, headers, backing, blocking, and other framing shown in the project documents.
Can I request only a drywall takeoff without pricing?
Yes. DEKR offers quantity-only takeoffs as well as pricing-only or complete bid-ready estimates depending on the contractor's needs.
Does DEKR include acoustical ceilings?
Yes. When acoustical ceilings are part of the bid package, DEKR can quantify ceiling tile, grid, perimeter trim, suspension systems, and related accessories.
What construction codes currently apply in Philadelphia?
For permit applications beginning July 1, 2026, Philadelphia uses an updated code framework based on the 2021 ICC family of codes with applicable Pennsylvania and local amendments. Project-specific requirements should be verified with Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections and the project's design professionals.
