Drywall Sheet Calculator questions

Should I use 4x8 or 4x12 drywall sheets?

4x8 sheets are easier to carry. 4x12 sheets reduce seams if you have help and room to maneuver.

How much waste should drywall include?

Use 10 percent for simple rooms and 15 percent when there are closets, corners, or many cutouts.

Does this estimate finishing supplies?

It includes a starter estimate for tape, screws, and compound, but local technique and finish level change usage.
