How it factors into your estimate

  • Stud counts come from wall linear feet at standard spacing, plus track and fasteners.
  • Wall height follows the ceiling height you enter, so taller walls raise material and hours.
  • Fire-rated and shaft wall assemblies must match the approved architectural details.

Labor intensity used by the estimator: 0.05 hours per square foot, adjusted for residential, commercial or industrial work. You can replace the hourly rate and every material price with your own numbers on the Trade Costs page.
