Plasterboard sheet lengths

Hey guys just doing some plasterboard takeoffs and was wondering if it is possible to use nominal sheet sizes. for instance, instead of getting a whole m2 of plasterboard needed is there a way to figure out how many sheets you need??

Hi user84,

Yes this can be done from within the :takeoff_tool: Takeoff Tool. If you enter the area of an individual sheet into the m2/Item field (e.g. For a 2.4m x 1.2m sheet, the area is 2.88m2 - shown in the image below), it’ll calculate the number of sheets needed.

Note: You’ll likely need to need to switch the field from Items/m2 to m2/Item (shown in the image below).
