Title: Active Estimating Benchmarks Projects Against Historical Cost Per SF by Wall Type

California, United States, 6th Aug 2025 - Active Estimating has recently introduced a robust methodology to benchmark drywall project costs by leveraging historical data segmented by wall type. This strategic shift enables estimators and project managers to validate estimates not just in aggregate but against cost-per-square-foot (SF) benchmarks derived from real past performance. The approach integrates Data-Driven Intelligence to enhance both cost predictability and bid accuracy across varying project scopes.Using Wall Type as the Benchmarking StandardOne of the key differentiators in this methodology is the segmentation of cost benchmarks by wall type. Rather than evaluating historical performance at the project level alone, this process isolates wall-specific metrics—such as Type X walls, shaft walls, or shaftliner walls—and compares them against current estimate parameters. This allows for a more granular and meaningful comparison, especially across projects of different sizes or scopes.For example, if a project includes extensive use of shaftliner partitions, Active Estimating enables project managers to reference historical average cost per SF specifically for shaftliner installations. This helps identify estimate anomalies early in the preconstruction phase, promoting corrective action before budgets are finalized.Quantifiable Accuracy Through Historical AnalyticsEach benchmark is built upon a growing database of verified production cost data. The workflow includes:Importing actual job cost data from completed drywall projectsTagging costs by wall type and locationCalculating average and median cost per SF for each wall typeEnabling real-time comparison during the takeoff and estimating processThis ensures that every new estimate can be evaluated for alignment w...
