In construction, accurate cost estimation is more than just a requirement—it’s a strategic advantage. That’s especially true in gypsum wall board projects, where materials, labor, and scheduling all must align. Active Estimating introduces a precision software solution that reshapes how drywall estimators approach budgeting—powered by data-driven intelligence from design through completion.

Built for the Realities of Drywall Estimation

Drywall projects often suffer from estimation delays, cost overruns, and inconsistencies between design intent and field execution. Existing tools fall short when it comes to:

• Handling both structured (objective) and unstructured (subjective) data
• Updating estimates in real-time with design changes
• Automating processes without losing transparency

Active Estimating solves these pain points by offering continuous, adaptive estimating workflows that support every phase of a gypsum wall board project.

A Continuous, Transparent Estimating Experience

At the core of the platform is a patented system that enables continuous estimating. Estimates no longer need to be restarted or heavily reworked as designs evolve. Instead, teams gain:

• Real-time tracking of both planned and actual costs
• Integration with production data for improved accuracy
• Predictive modeling to forecast costs at early stages

Unlike “black box” solutions, this platform promotes transparency, offering traceable, verifiable outputs every step of the way.

Estimating, Evolved

Key Advantages

• Rapid Iteration: Updates estimates in minutes instead of weeks—enabling up to 4x more estimate iterations without adding resources.
• Smart Benchmarking: Leverages past project data to improve conceptual accuracy.
• Data Integration: Harmonizes information from multiple systems with no-code automation.
• Full Lifecycle Support: Tracks costs from initial design to project completion.
• Adaptability: Handles subjective inputs like field conditions or unmodeled details with precision.

Proven Impact

Early adopters of the platform have reported:

• 70% reduction in estimate update time
• Better alignment between estimates and evolving project scopes
• Reduction in manual workflows and spreadsheet dependency
• Improved budget control and cost predictability across trades

One estimator noted: “We’re able to deliver more estimates faster, with greater accuracy and confidence.”

A New Standard for Gypsum Wall Board Estimation

This isn’t just another tool—it’s a foundation for improved outcomes. The software supports specialty contractors, project owners, and preconstruction teams who need consistent, flexible, and actionable estimating insights.

Active Estimating brings gypsum wall board cost management into the future—helping teams win more projects, reduce risk, and unlock cost savings.
