Abstract

A drywall is a high-performance lightweight interior wall system consisting of a GI steel frame, encased in gypsum plasterboard on either side attached with self drilling drywall screws. The joints are then tapped and finished with gypsum jointing compounds. Drywall can be built three to four times faster than conventional masonry (brick/block) walls. Drywall name implies it is a water free process and hence can be put up much faster. Drywall is easy to put up and need less labour. Drywalls are eight to ten times lighter than masonry walls, reducing the dead load. This assumes significance in high-rise structures, resulting in not only structural cost saving, but a reduction in the burden of moving up material. By using qualitative research methodology & by studying on the project VOYAGE to the stars by cloud9 of acropolis Purple developers luxury residential project located in Sr no 43/44, NIBM Road, Pune 411060, India Website: wwwcloud9estate.in as my case syudy I had collected the required data. This assumes significance in high-rise structures, resulting in not only structural cost saving, but a reduction in the burden of moving up material. Studies have shown that drywall leads to structural cost saving of as much as 15%. Drywall is made of gypsum plasterboard, which is 100% recyclable hence gives green construction. Drywalls are also water free, thus saving precious natural resources. Plasterboard Steel Stud Partition Systems are designed for use in both non fire-rated and fire-rated applications. Plasterboard Steel Stud Partition Systems consist of single or multiple layers of Plasterboard sheets, screw fixed to steel framing with corrosion resistant, bugle head screws. The non fire rated partitions detailed in this project information are suitable for standard partitioning construction in a range of new construction areas. They are also applicable in the renovation of all types of buildings. These speedily installed partitions provide smooth, durable, non-combustible, low cost, light weight systems that can also achieve acoustic performance ratings
