What you price
Why drywall & steel framing businesses switch
Drywall estimators are usually on On-Screen Takeoff, PlanSwift or Bluebeam on a Windows PC, then price in Excel. TrueScope runs on any computer, and wall-type conversions price board and framing as you trace.
Setup tip
TrueScope has no wall-height field, so set it in the conversion: for 9 ft walls both sides, 1 LF = 18 SF of board and 0.75 studs at 16 in centres.
Common questions
Yes, through the quantity conversion on each wall type — one lineal foot equals the board area for that height and number of sides.
Measure wall areas on the elevations and cut the openings out, or count openings on the plan to price headers, jambs and corner bead.
