If you are not familiar with construction estimation, creating a budget for remodeling your commercial building or installing drywall for new construction can be challenging. However, you don’t have to worry anymore. Before asking contractors for a quote to compare their prices, you can get a clue of how much you should expect to pay to install commercial drywall in Oakland.
The information below should help you understand the costs related to any drywall installation in a commercial building. If you know these estimations, you will be in a good position to either accept or reject a contractor’s quotation.
Installing drywall on large commercial buildings
Most large drywall jobs are priced based on square-foot charges. The square foot rate charged is based on the drywall’s square footage and not the floor space square footage. For instance, an 8-foot high room with 2,000 square feet of floor space may need 8,000-9,000 square feet of drywall, depending on the room’s layout and the number of interior walls.
Contractors always begin by determining the number of sheets that will be needed for large drywall projects. While they have their way to make their estimations, you can get your estimate through basic measurement. You can measure all the walls and ceilings’ lengths and find the total square footage to be covered. You will not be far from their estimate.
On average, the cost of 1000 square foot drywall can cost between $1500 and $2,000.
The cost of drywall also depends on the material.
Drywall installation labor costs
A lot of preparation work is required to be done before installing drywall. If you are remodeling your commercial building, a lot of demolition will have to be done first. The demolition cost can be anywhere from $400 to $3000, depending on the difficulty and technicality.
After demolition, insulation is amended or replaced. Insulation costs between $0.80 to $1 per square foot.
The installation process also has different charges, depending on who is installing and where the drywall is being installed (vertical walls or ceilings).
Most professionals charge by the square foot, usually between $1 and $3 per square foot on top of the material costs, cleanup, and other expenses.
Any additional services will also be charged. The team also finishes and leaves your commercial area as smooth as possible and ensures you are satisfied with the work done.
