FAQ

Good questions.

Who uses this service?

Ceiling contractors, general contractors and tenant-improvement teams.

Do gypsum ceilings fall under this page?

Gypsum board ceilings and soffits are usually carried with drywall. We state the boundary in each estimate.

Can I get quantities only?

Yes. A quantity takeoff carries no unit costs. A priced estimate states the pricing basis: your rates, Hemingway pricing inputs for the project's ZIP code, or an applicable wage determination.

What should I send?

Reflected ceiling plans, ceiling type legend, sections, Division 09 specifications and addenda.
