Determine the number of 4-foot-wide by 8-foot-high sheets of drywall needed for the tenant finish in Figure 16.15. 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 8, the length of the interior walls is 75?4?.

Exterior wall length = 2 × 40?1? + 2 × 23?9? = 127?8?

Sheets of drywall = (127?8? + 2 sides × 75?4?) / 4? = 70 sheets

Add waste.

Sheets of drywall = 70 sheets × 1.05 = 73.5 – Order 74 sheets
