Build a painting bid from finish schedules and measurable surfaces rather than building floor area alone. We separate wall and ceiling surfaces, doors, trim and specified coatings, keeping substrate, preparation, coat system and access assumptions visible for your pricing review.
Project-based estimating fees. Confirm scope, fee and delivery after document review.
Choose the items required for your bid. Quantities are grouped by the available drawing references, material or assembly, location and unit. Pricing is added only when it forms part of the agreed package.
| Scope item | Measurement | Information retained |
|---|---|---|
| Interior walls | SF | Room, substrate, finish code and opening basis |
| Ceilings and soffits | SF | Height, surface type and assembly |
| Exterior surfaces | SF | Elevations, substrate and coating system |
| Doors and frames | EA / SF / LF | Faces, frame type and scheduled finish |
| Trim and exposed items | LF / EA | Profiles, rails, pipes or other specified scope |
| Preparation and specialty coatings | SF / stated basis | Existing condition, system and required treatment |
Room finish schedules are reconciled with plans, elevations and wall sections. We identify the substrate and finish code before totaling the surface area. Wall heights, opening deductions, columns, soffits and exposed structure can change the scope substantially even when two rooms have the same floor area.
Paint purchasing quantities need the supplied product coverage, coat count and application assumptions. We keep those conversions separate from the measured area. Existing-coating removal, patching, primer, protection, lifts and occupied-area restrictions are identified when documented. Where surface condition is unknown, the estimate records a clarification instead of presenting a repair allowance as a verified field condition.
For workbook organization, see the illustrative deliverable layouts. These layouts show the format; project-specific samples will be identified separately when available.
Tell us the project location, trade scope and whether you need quantities only or a priced estimate. Add your bid deadline if you have one.
Upload the available set, or include a shared drawings link in your message. Note missing documents and any items you want excluded.
We review the available documents and clarify the requested package. The proposal establishes deliverables, fee, revision scope and delivery milestones before estimating work starts.
