Residential Estimator includes the following in the base cost for partitions and ceilings:
Low through Good Quality: Seamed partitions and seamed ceilings.
Very Good Quality: Seamed partitions and drywall ceilings.
Excellent Quality: Drywall partitions and drywall ceilings.
Seamed partitions include any of the following: printed hardboard, prefinished plywood paneling or thin paper-veneered drywall.
Use this component to change from seamed to drywall as follows:
Low through Good Quality: Enter the percentage of the home with drywall partitions and ceilings. If the home has drywall ceilings only, use component 634 (Add for Drywall Ceilings Only) instead of this one.
Very Good Quality: Enter the percentage of the home with drywall partitions (since the base cost already has drywall ceilings).
Excellent Quality: Do not use this component. If you use it for excellent quality, you will not get any additional cost, since drywall partitions and ceilings are already included in the base cost.
NOTE: Do not use this component with component 634 (Add for Drywall Ceilings Only).
