PlanSwift gives drywall contractors one place to measure surfaces, calculate board and labor needs, account for waste, and build a price they can stand behind.
PlanSwift measures and prices walls, ceilings, and openings in one place. No separate spreadsheet for board, labor, and waste.
Use AI to get through the first pass faster, then apply your judgment to the quantities that shape the bid.
Turn measured scope into buildable work packages with the material, labor, and waste relationships your team relies on.
Handle the math behind sheet counts, waste factors, production rates, and pricing with rules that match how your company estimates.
Start recurring bids from proven setups instead of rebuilding your estimating process from a blank plan set every time.
When drawings change, isolate the affected scope and update the estimate with a clear record of what moved.
Move wall, ceiling, and opening quantities into the Excel pricing sheets your team already uses while keeping takeoff data connected as the estimate evolves.
Takeoff BOOST is the AI takeoff suite from ConstructConnect built directly into PlanSwift. It handles the manual measuring, counting, scaling, and navigating that used to slow estimators down, so you can focus on what actually wins bids: the estimate.

Did you get your last drywall estimate right? How much did you underbid? With PlanSwift you’ll know exactly how much drywall, joint compound, screws, corner bead and anything else you’ll need for your takeoff / bill of materials.
PlanSwift is the #1 takeoff and estimating software for the construction industry.
Accurate estimates require precise measurements. With PlanSwift you can measure perimeters and surface area instantly. Irregular surfaces are not a problem, and unusual curves can be easily measured. It’s time to dump the ruler and highlighters, and stop printing out plans. Let PlanSwift help you with your estimates and give you accurate results in seconds.

"PlanSwift has saved us time and money — and it’s dead on accurate. We’ll be using it for a long time to come."
Yes. PlanSwift supports drywall takeoff and estimating workflows for area, linear, segment, and count scope. The PlanSwift Drywall and Framing Starter Pack includes prebuilt templates, parts, and assemblies for drywall, metal framing, acoustical tile, labor, and subcontract work. Contractors can customize and reuse these setups. Your estimator still reviews wall heights, openings, soffits, specialty details, and finish requirements before approving the estimate.
Takeoff BOOST is a suite of AI tools built into PlanSwift:
Auto Takeoff creates a preliminary page takeoff with supported area, linear, and count measurements.
Auto Count finds matching symbols or objects across selected pages after you choose what to count.
Auto Scale detects and applies page scale across selected pages.
Auto Bookmark helps create bookmarks and links to related plan pages, details, sections, and other views.
Together, these tools can reduce repetitive measuring, counting, scale setup, and plan navigation. Drywall estimators can review and refine the AI-assisted first pass in PlanSwift before connecting quantities to assemblies and formulas. The results are a starting point, not a finished bid.
PlanSwift lets drywall contractors connect measured quantities to assemblies and custom formulas. Your team can configure estimating logic for board, studs, track, channel, acoustical tile, tape, mud, accessories, labor, waste, and other items. Update the assumptions when scope or pricing changes. Because takeoff and estimating stay in one platform, you can review revised quantities and costs without rebuilding the estimate. PlanSwift also supports Excel report export.
PlanSwift gives drywall estimators one workflow for measuring and pricing wall and ceiling scope. You can use area, linear, segment, and count takeoff for board, wall lines, ceilings, trim, openings, and other items. Organize quantities by wall type, level, room, finish, or another scope category. Then connect them to custom drywall assemblies and formulas for material, labor, waste, and cost calculations.
Drywall takeoff and estimating software helps contractors measure walls, ceilings, openings, and related scope from digital plans and turn those quantities into a priced bid. PlanSwift combines takeoff and estimating in one platform, so drywall contractors can move from plan review to quantities, assemblies, material and labor costs, waste, and bid preparation. Takeoff BOOST is a suite of AI tools built into PlanSwift that can help speed up supported first-pass takeoff work. Estimators review and adjust the quantities before finalizing the estimate.
