How much caulk?

[Alex Locklear]

I recently started using a new painter and I'm wondering if he is over-estimating material on purpose or if I'm just being stingy lol. I've been flipping houses for years but honestly can't remember how much caulk on average is needed. The house is 2,000 square feet. 

I know it depends on the number of seams, wall height, amount of doors, windows, etc. but on average, how much caulk would you guestimate a painter would need to paint a 2,000 square foot house? He is requesting 2 cases of caulk (12 tubes in each case).
