Commercial Drywall and Metal Framing in St. Louis: What GCs Should Include in the Scope

Commercial drywall packages need more than a sheet count

Accurate commercial pricing depends on wall types, heights, board layers, rated assemblies, insulation, soffits, ceilings, backing, door and storefront conditions, finishing level and access. A low sheet count can miss significant labor and accessory costs.

Metal framing scope

Typical commercial framing can include interior metal stud partitions, deflection track, shaftwall or specialty assemblies where shown, headers, jamb reinforcing, soffits, ceiling framing, backing and coordination at openings and MEP penetrations.

Drywall and finishing scope

Board type and thickness should follow the drawings and specifications, including Type X and moisture-resistant products where required. Finish levels, corner bead, control joints, patching at new work and ceiling conditions should be clearly identified.

ACT and sound control

Acoustical ceilings, sound attenuation insulation and above-ceiling requirements are often connected to the partition package. These items should be reviewed together so the bid does not leave gaps between trades.
