Plasterboard quantities, then priced

GIB quantities come off the wall and ceiling area, the sheet size you are running, and the system — standard board, or the braceline, fire and wet-area boards that particular rooms need. Then there are the screws, the stopping compound and the jointing tape, plus a cutting-waste allowance.

Toolie works out the sheet count for the room or the whole job, adds the screws and stopping, applies the GIB system rules where a wall needs bracing or a wet-area board, and prices it off a real NZ pricebook so the lining line in your quote is right.

It’s part of the quote, not a separate tool

In Toolie this isn’t a one-off calculator — it feeds the actual priced quote and the build programme. Describe the job or drop in a PDF plan and Toolie runs the take-off, applies NZ site intelligence and prices it off a real NZ pricebook.
