--- title: "General Contractor Partnership" description: "Drywall subcontracting for Orange County general contractors: schedule reliability, rated assemblies built to listing, and punch completed without chasing." url: "https://hanenburg-drywall.vercel.app/partners/general-contractor-partnership" section: "Partners" business: "Hanenburg Drywall" location: "Irvine, California" updated: "2026-09-25" --- # General Contractor Partnership > **TLDR**: Three commitments to GCs: **hold the date or give early notice**, build **rated assemblies to listing**, and complete **punch without chasing**. Documentation provided at closeout. We work as a drywall subcontractor for Orange County general contractors on three commitments: we hold our dates or give early notice, we build rated and acoustic assemblies to their listed details, and we complete punch without being chased. ## Why the drywall subcontract matters more than its value suggests Drywall sits in the middle of the schedule. It absorbs delays from framing, rough in, and inspection, and it passes them to paint, flooring, and everything downstream. A drywall sub who cannot hold a date is a problem for the whole programme rather than for their own scope. That is the primary thing we manage for. ## What we do about schedule risk We build our schedule around compound drying time rather than pretending it does not exist, which is what makes a date realistic in the first place. When an upstream trade slips and puts our date at risk, you hear about it as soon as we know, with a revised date. What we will not do is stay quiet and miss the date on the day it was due. ## Assembly detail and inspection Rated assemblies fail inspection for predictable reasons: wrong fastener spacing, missing firestop at a penetration, incorrect head of wall detail, or the wrong board layering. We build to the listing rather than to habit, and we document what we built, so the inspection goes cleanly the first time rather than generating a correction cycle nobody has time for. ## Getting started Send drawings to info@hanenburgdrywall.com or call (949) 446-1300. We will review, flag anything that will not build as drawn, and price it properly rather than qualifying it away. ## What's Included - Drawing review with constructability issues flagged before framing - Metal stud layout and framing to plan - Blocking and backing coordinated before rough in closes - Rated and acoustic assemblies built to listed details - Firestopping and acoustic sealing at all penetrations - Finish level delivered per area as specified - As built documentation for inspection and closeout - Punch list completion without repeated follow up - Certificates of insurance with additional insureds named ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Do you provide certificates of insurance?
