Frequently asked questions
How should a drywall contractor set up a schedule of values?
Most drywall and framing contractors bill by area and by stage: for example, each floor broken into framing, hang, tape and finish, and ceilings, plus mobilization, insulation if in scope, and closeout. Matching the GC's area breakdown makes percent complete easy to verify.
What causes the most drywall change orders?
Layout changes after framing starts, added in-wall backing for other trades' equipment, upgraded finish levels, added rated or acoustic assemblies, out-of-sequence work, and patching after other trades.
How do I handle patching for other trades?
Treat it as extra work unless your contract includes it. Log each request with photos and the trade responsible, then price it as a change order or back-charge request.
Can crews log hours from the job?
Yes. The Sub-Office mobile app includes daily logs, photos, crew hours and timesheets.
