Ask for the full takeoff and drawingsRules of thumb: 10% waste on plasterboard, tile and skirting; timber studs at the centres you pick, plus 1 per corner and 2 per opening (lintels and trimmers not counted); one sole plate, one head plate and one noggin row; 2 coats of paint; door openings 1.89 m² and windows 1.44 m² taken out of the wall area. Check paint coverage on the tin. A rough guide for budgeting, not a substitute for a measured survey.
