- 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.
