Read full description

Drywall Project Takeoff is an offline project-based takeoff and quote tool for contractors, remodelers, handymen, and serious DIY users. Create multiple projects, add one or more project areas to each job, and estimate drywall sheets, materials, waste, and total cost directly on your device. The app is designed for real field workflows, not just one-time calculations. Use AR to capture dimensions on site or enter measurements manually when you want full control. Every AR result can be reviewed and adjusted before calculation, so the workflow stays practical even when conditions are not perfect. Generate editable wall, ceiling, and partition faces from project dimensions, then add doors, windows, and custom cutouts. Keep simple faces fast with quick estimate, or switch selected faces to precise layout when you want board placement to reflect face size, layout direction, and opening positions more closely. What you can do: - Create and manage multiple projects - Add one or more project areas inside each project - Generate and edit walls, ceilings, partitions, and custom faces - Measure with AR or enter dimensions manually - Add doors, windows, and custom openings - Switch faces between quick estimate and precise layout - Compare board sizes, layout direction, and waste - Review area-level and project-level totals - Add material pricing, labor, tax, and markup - Export quotes, material lists, estimate summaries, and backup files offline Materials and outputs include: - Drywall sheets - Generated wall / ceiling / partition faces - Mud / joint compound - Tape - Screws - Corner bead and accessories - Waste-adjusted totals - Material cost - Labor cost - Total quote Designed for offline use: - Works fully offline - No sign-in required - No internet connection required - Projects are stored locally on device - Export files are generated locally Important: AR measurement is intended to assist estimating. Final purchasing and construction decisions should always be confirmed on site.
