DRYWALL
Generally you would add 10 -20% for waste, yet subtract 10-20% for doors and windows. So we have left these as full sheets. If you have a large # of windows or oversized, then you can measure the area and remove it from the total square footage.

Combined length of walls x height = square feet
Width x length of ceiling = square feet
<select>
<option selected> Remove< type "text">                 = additional square footage subtracted
