# Drywall Services for General Contractors

General contractors need a drywall subcontractor who holds dates, builds rated assemblies correctly, and completes punch without being chased. Drywall sits mid schedule, so a delay in this scope propagates to every trade downstream.

Drywall sits in the middle of your schedule, which makes it one of the highest leverage subcontracts on the job. We absorb delays from framing, rough in, and inspection, and we pass them to paint, flooring, and everything after. A drywall sub who cannot hold a date is a problem for the whole programme.

The other thing that costs GCs money on this scope is rework driven by assembly detail. A rated wall built with the wrong fastener spacing, a missed firestop at a penetration, or blocking that was never installed all get discovered late and cost far more to correct than to do right.

So we run three commitments. We hold our dates or tell you early when an upstream slip makes that impossible. We build rated and acoustic assemblies to their listed details and document what we built. And we complete punch promptly rather than making it a chase.

## What usually goes wrong

- Subs who take the job then cannot hold the date
- Rated assemblies built wrong and caught at inspection
- Blocking missed, discovered when millwork arrives
- Punch list items that take three follow ups
- No documentation at closeout

## What matters when choosing a contractor

- Track record of holding schedule commitments
- Demonstrated understanding of rated assembly detailing
- Proactive communication when something upstream slips
- Punch completed without chasing
- Insurance certificates and closeout documentation provided promptly

## What we do differently

- Drawing review with constructability issues flagged before framing
- Rated and acoustic assemblies built to listed details
- Blocking coordinated before rough in closes
- Early notice when an upstream delay puts our date at risk
- As built documentation and prompt punch completion

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do you provide certificates of insurance?

Yes, with the required additional insureds named, as part of standard onboarding on any commercial project.

### How do you handle schedule slips from upstream trades?

We tell you as soon as we know, with a revised date. What we will not do is stay silent and then miss the date on the day it was due. If rough in inspection slips by three days, our finish date moves by at least three days, and you will hear that from us rather than discover it.

### Can you provide documentation for rated assemblies?

Yes. We document assemblies as built including board type, layering, fastener spacing, and the firestop systems used at each penetration, which is normally what inspectors and closeout require.
