Preparatory Works: 5.1 Approved Shop Drawing, Method Statement, Material and Sample

The document discusses the importance of proper preparatory works for drywall installation, including: 1) Having approved shop drawings, method statements, materials, and samples to dictate setting out, dimensions, performance requirements, and approved material types. 2) Preparing contact surfaces like end walls and soffits by checking verticality and evenness before installation. 3) Marking out gridlines and levels on walls, slabs, and floors according to approved shop drawings before setting out and installation. Proper preparatory works are critical to ensuring drywall quality and sturdiness.

PREPARATORY WORKS

Proper setting out, dimensional control, sufficient structural support for mechanical and electrical services,
openings, together with surface preparation are critical in ensuring drywall sturdiness and quality.

The approved shop drawings dictate the setting out and dimensional control while the approved method
statement governs the performance and technical requirement of relevant system, governing standards as
well as installation procedures. The approved materials and samples determine the right type of materials to
be used.

5.1 Approved Shop Drawing, Method Statement, Material and Sample

5.1.1 Approved shop drawing


An approved shop drawing should ideally include profiles, sizes, connection details, reinforcing anchorage,
sizes and types of fasteners, and accessories. Dry-lining details in fire-rated wall, soffit and ceiling assemblies
should also be indicated in the approved shop drawings where necessary.

5.1.2 Approved method statement


An approved method statement should ideally comprise recommendation for treatment to the contact
surfaces prior to receiving the drywall installation. A recommended good practice for the approved method
statement is to highlight the delivery, storage and handling of materials as well as the integration of M&E
services installation into the drywall installation process. The approved method statement should consider
connection method between different types of materials.

5.1.3 Approved material and sample


All the relevant technical information should be in the approved material submission while relevant approved
sample should comprise approved materials and duly endorsed by the architect.

5.2 Contact Surface Preparation

Contact surface for drywall installation preparatory works usually refers to end wall or column, soffit of slab
and floor slab. Verticality of the end wall or column needs to be checked prior to receiving the starter stud.
The evenness of the soffit of slab governs the securing of the top tracks/runners. The floor slab or kerb level
and alignment dictates the stability of the bottom tracks/runners. All contact surfaces should be properly
cleaned before setting out.

Work Sequence Good Practices

• Verticality of end wall/column must be


checked and rectified prior to installation
of the starter stud

• Evenness of soffit slab must be checked


and rectified prior to the installation of the
top tracks/runners

PREPARATORY WORKS

Work Sequence Good Practices

For drywall without kerb

• Floor slab should be level and evenness to


be rectified prior to the installation of the
bottom track/runner.

For drywall with kerb

• Kerb should be provided at wet areas.


• Maintain kerb evenness to achieve drywall
frame stability.

• Straightness of kerb is important to ensure


a good alignment of the partition wall.

5.3 Setting Out Preparation

The setting out preparation can begin once all approved shop drawings, method statement, materials and
samples are in order. Gridlines and levels are to be marked out on the end wall or column, soffit slab, and
floor slab or kerb before installation works.

Work Sequence Good Practices

• Dry wall starting line marked out on


slab soffit as per approved shop
drawings.

• Dry wall starting line marked out


on floor slab as per approved shop
drawings.

• Dry wall starting line marked out on


end wall or column as per approved
shop drawings.
