How I Would Bid a 20,000 SF Office Build-Out (Framing & Drywall)
How I Would Bid a 20,000 SF Office Build-Out (Framing & Drywall)
If I’m bidding this, here’s what I look at first:
1️⃣ Wall type legend – Are there multiple gauges? Fire ratings? Shaft walls?
2️⃣ Reflected ceiling plan – Any high ceilings? Bulkheads? Soffits?
3️⃣ Spec section 09 29 00 – What board type and finish level?
4️⃣ Door schedule – Heavy frame backing?
5️⃣ Insulation coordination – Who owns it?
Where most contractors lose money:
• Missing shaft walls
• Not pricing Level 5 finish
• Ignoring ceiling height differences
Before I submit a number, I always clarify:
• Who provides insulation?
• Who owns backing?
• Phasing requirements?
• Working hours?
That’s how you protect margin💪
