Drywall Hidden Costs
Time is Money! Single-use Drywall Wastes Both.
Drywall or coroplast temporary walls seems easy and cheap, right? You have it onsite and your carpenters know how to frame a wall. Drywall for temporary use adds up quickly. Consider:
After-hours scheduling & overtime for skilled trades
Longer installation -- often a couple of days -- compared to STARC's speedy one-hour set-ups
Finishing walls to owner standards
Waste disposal and tear-down expenses
Rising gypsum prices.
Avoid scheduling headaches. Keep skilled carpenters focused on the finished build.
Three-Use Payback
Single-use drywall requires labor and cost for every project phase. STARC's wall systems is reusable over dozens -- if not hundreds of phases. This chart compares field estimates typically associated with using temporary drywall for separation and containment to STARC's reusable modular wall systems.
Typical Break-even
Builders commonly report break-even after two to four installations against traditional temporary drywall.
Durable & Reusable
59% of customers report 20+ repeated installs within two-three years.
