Eau Claire Athletic Club Interior Renovation’s summary
Installation:
- Installation of new drywall ceilings and bulkheads, including flat finish.
- Installation of new drywall partitions, with different partition types (P1, P2, P5, P10, P11, P15, P17, P18) specified throughout the drawings.
- Furring out existing concrete block walls and columns using metal studs and gypsum board.
- Installation of gypsum board in wet areas, with requirements for moisture-resistant materials like AquaBoard and Kerdi membrane.
- Installation of fire-rated partitions (P18) with specific requirements for 5/8” gypsum board and acoustic batt insulation.
- Installation of plywood blocking/backing in walls for millwork, fixtures, and equipment.
Finishing:
- Taping, filling, sanding, and smoothing of drywall joints, edges, and corners to achieve a level 5 finish.
- Installation of metal corner beads and molds at all corners and ends of gypsum board.
- Caulking of joints and gaps between drywall and other surfaces, including concrete walls and window frames.
- Preparation of drywall surfaces for painting or other finishes, including patching and repairing existing drywall as needed.
Coordination:
- Coordination with other trades (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) to ensure proper installation of drywall around pipes, ducts, wires, and other services.
- Coordination with the owner and designer for approval of drywall finishes and materials.
- Coordination with the owner to determine locations for signage and owner-supplied equipment, and to provide necessary backing and support.
Important Considerations:
- The drawings specify a level 5 finish for drywall, which requires a high degree of skill and attention to detail.
- Fire-rated partitions and wet area installations have specific requirements that must be followed to meet building codes and ensure safety and durability.
- Proper coordination with other trades is essential for a successful drywall installation.
