Estimating · Suspended ceilings
Suspended ceiling estimating: grid, tile and trims, room by room.
We measure ceilings by tile and grid type from the reflected ceiling plans. You get quantities or a priced bid.
What you get
- Quantities by element, in Excel and PDF
- Or a priced estimate: labour, materials and equipment
- Delivered before the BSDQ or contractor closing
- A confidentiality agreement, if you want one
What we measure
What we take off your drawings.
Ceilings
In m² by tile and grid type, by room or area.
Trims
Wall angles and transition trims, in linear metres.
Special items
Acoustic panels, clouds, metal or wood ceilings, shown separately.
Height and access
Suspension height and the need for scaffolding or a lift.
Two ways to work
Quantities only, or a priced estimate.
Quantity takeoff
Your quantities organized by element, the way you build your price. You apply your rates and submit.
Priced estimate
We add labour, materials and equipment, at Quebec market prices or your own rates. Ready to submit.
Watch out for
What we often see missing from a bid.
- Rooms where the reflected ceiling plan and the finish schedule disagree.
- Gypsum bulkheads at suspended ceiling edges, assigned to one package or the other.
- Bracing required by the specs, missing from the price.
