Assumptions

Plans: architectural A-101 partition plan, RCP-101 reflected ceiling plan and wall type schedule, sample set. Any addendum after this date is not included.
Existing building: concrete slab, steel deck at 14'-0" AFF, exterior walls and corridor by base building. ACT ceiling at 9'-0" AFF.
Wall types A and D run to deck with slotted deflection track; types B and C stop 6" above ceiling and are braced to structure at 4'-0" o.c.
Rated assemblies follow the wall type schedule; head-of-wall fire joint systems and penetration firestopping are by others unless noted.
Finish levels per GA-214: Level 4 at exposed walls and drywall ceilings, Level 5 at reception and conference walls, Level 1 fire-tape above ceiling.
Board waste carried in sheet counts (10% walls, 12% ceilings). Other material carries 5% waste.
Prices are sample 2026 national-average prices. On real jobs, material is priced to your region and the labor rate, tax, overhead and profit are set to your numbers.
Work during normal hours in an unoccupied suite, with a 19 ft scissor lift for 2 weeks and material stocked by the supplier on the floor.
