What Is Finishes Estimating?
Finishes estimating calculates the quantity and cost of interior and exterior finish materials, including drywall, paint, flooring, ceilings and wall coverings, for a construction project.
Finishes are where a project’s budget becomes visible to the client, and finish-level decisions can shift costs significantly room by room. Our estimators calculate square footage and linear quantities for drywall, paint, flooring and ceiling systems directly from your finish schedule and drawings.
