Essential Tips By Material
Plasterboard

Planning

  • Carefully measure and accurately order the amount of material needed.
  • Consider horizontal fitting instead of vertical fitting.
  • Order customized plasterboard (minimum order for individual lengths is 200 sheets).

On-site

  • Measure and store materials carefully
  • Separate drywall.
  • Save sizeable pieces of plasterboard for use around doors, windows or built-ins, or for reuse on another job.
  • Make sure recycling bins are clearly labelled.
