   I usually figure $16 to $17 per board. That's 4x12 1/2" rock, limited high work, reasonable # of beads, and includes mud, tape, beads, screews and glue.

   *God, I'm high. My estimating programs and another contractor have put it at closer to a buck a square foot.

   *Southern NE, 20 to 25 per 12' sheet. Usually split down the middle, half to hang, half to mud.

   My drywalls subs use this rule of thimb to get in the ballpark: House sq.footage x 4 x .65 Example: 1500 sq ft house (1500 x 4 = 6000) (6000 x 65 cents = $3900). That would include labor and materials to hang, tape, and texture -- ready for paint. That would be on an average house without too much high work, not too cut up with lots of small rooms, etc. Hope that helps.

   If I sub whole job, .70 to .90 a sq ft, if I stock it .15 to hang and .30 to tape & texture & prime. avg for new const.

   *STEVE,NEED TO BE SPECIFIC IF YOU TALKING ABOUT NEW WORKOR REMODEL. ALLOW FOR TIE INS IF ITS A REMODEL. SMOOTH WALL OR TEXTURE MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN PRICE. DON'T FORGET TO ADD $ FOR CLEAN UP.

   What might be a good estimate of drywall labor for hanging and taping?
   Is it based on sq. ft. of the drywall?
   Thanks.
