Set the Houston drywall package around the actual interior contract
A Houston building submission may contain shell, tenant and service drawings that are not all part of one drywall subcontract. Identify the leased or contracted interior area and provide its partition, reflected-ceiling and wall-type schedules. Ask F&K to organize board, framing, ceilings and accessories by the assemblies you will bid. Include documented shaft, bulkhead and backing responsibilities so interfaces with MEP trades are not reduced to one floor-area allowance. Site infrastructure belongs outside this interior package unless specific external enclosure work is assigned to your contract.
Board quantities and complete wall assemblies
Separate partition types, heights, layers and framing before totaling board area. Check rated assembly references, shaft and ceiling details, and backing responsibilities; a floor-area allowance does not define those different installation conditions.
To define your quote: Do you need board quantities only, or framing, insulation, ceilings, finishing and accessories as one package?
Building and civil scope handover
Mark where the building package ends and site or off-site work begins. Use the latest civil issue to identify interfaces, then assign each item to one contractor package. Keep an omitted or unissued civil detail visible instead of absorbing it into a building-area rate. For this Houston, TX drywall and metal framing estimating request: Send the address and jurisdiction, civil drawings, building set and any infrastructure comments affecting the bid. Identify where the building-services scope ends and site utilities begin.
Are site improvements and utility connections inside this bid, and where are the handover points to other contractors?
