Determine the number of 4-foot-wide by 8-foot-high sheets of drywall needed for the tenant finish in Figure 16.16. The walls are 8 feet high. The exterior walls need drywall on the interior side only. The interior walls need drywall on both sides. Add 5 percent waste.

What will be an ideal response?


From problem 11, the length of the interior walls is 95?.

Exterior wall length = 2 × 45?1? + 2 × 27?4? = 144?10?

Sheets of drywall = (144?10? + 2 sides × 95?) / 4? = 84 sheets

Add waste.

Sheets of drywall = 84 sheets × 1.05 = 88.2 – Order 88 or 89 sheets
