What the work should include
The scope identifies walls and ceilings, board selection, fastening, joints and the required finish. Electrical, plumbing or other work that needs access behind the surface must be coordinated before closure. Any required inspections belong in the sequence, while framing correction should be listed separately from panel installation.
Choices to make before work starts
Discuss the final wall finish before boards are hung. Painted smooth walls, textured surfaces and areas receiving other finishes can need different treatment. Board type and assembly details should follow the actual room requirements rather than a blanket assumption that every panel is the same.
What affects the estimate and schedule
Ceiling height, openings, board handling and framing readiness affect the estimate. Send a room layout, photos of framing and the desired wall finish.
Helpful project information

A question about this work
Can drywall be installed before rough work is finished?
That can cause avoidable reopening. Confirm readiness and any inspection requirements before covering the framing.
