Drywall & Metal Framing in South Florida

Priced from the drawings, built to the layout that was actually issued.

We price light-gauge framing and gypsum board from the documents you send: partition types, ratings, heights, deflection conditions and what happens above the ceiling. Scope gaps are raised before award, when they are still a question, rather than at rough inspection, when they are a change order.

Exclusions

What it does not cover

Published on purpose. A bid is only comparable when both sides know where it stops.

  • 01Structural and load-bearing framing, and the engineering behind it
  • 02Firestopping of penetrations made by other trades
  • 03Paint and final finish
  • 04Ceiling suspension grid and tile — priced under Acoustical Ceilings
  • 05Permit fees and third-party inspections

Where it applies

  • Tenant build-outs: retail, office, wellness and hospitality
  • High-rise residential interiors, corridors and demising walls
  • Rated corridors, shafts and stair enclosures
  • Curved, raked and feature partitions

How it coordinates

  • MEP rough-in complete and inspected before board goes up on the second side
  • Door frames set and braced before the opening is closed
  • Backing located from millwork shop drawings, not from field guesses
  • Finish level agreed with the painting scope — level 4 and level 5 are not the same number
