One bay, four states.

One bay of partition, elevation 1:20, drawn to the rules the site works to: 600mm centres, seams on studs, screws at 300mm, joints feathered before the skim.

  1. FrameC-studs plumbed between floor and head tracks at 600mm centres, noggins where the spec calls.
  2. BoardBoards span two bays so every seam lands on a stud; screw rows follow the stud lines at 300mm centres.
  3. Tape and jointSeams taped and feathered into the board face; field screws spotted ready for decoration.
  4. FinishA continuous skim plane lapping the final joint, checked under a raking light.

What the package includes.

  • Metal stud partitions

    Set out from the structural grid, framed, boarded and closed as one trade package.

    C-stud framing erected plumb between tracks at the specified centres, with deflection heads, openings and pattresses framed in, not cut in later.

    Service penetrations framed from the MEP coordination, with deviations recorded.

  • Drylining and plasterboard

    Wall linings and internal build-ups to the specified board system.

    Wall linings and internal build-ups fixed and finished to programme.

    Manufacturer board systems, Gyproc and GTEC on the company record, fixed to the specified build-up with every seam landing on a stud.

  • Tape and jointing

    Taped joints brought to a decoration-ready standard.

    Joints taped, filled and feathered; field screws spotted. The faster dry finish where the programme calls for it.

  • Plastering and skim

    Skim finishes brought to one true, decoration-ready plane.

    Skim and finish coats checked under a raking light before offer-up.

Suspended ceilings and fire and acoustic partitions are priced within the package where the project requires them, not offered as a standalone speciality.

A drylining subcontractor to main contractors.

The team began in drylining, before envelope work became the headline. The internal package is still delivered the same way: a build package, not a labour supply, run under the same programme, supervision and records as the envelope works, where one accountable specialist should carry both sides of the wall.

What a main contractor buys.

Programme, interfaces, supervision, QA and records.
Programme
Stage durations priced against the construction programme, with boarding sequenced around first fix so no zone is closed early and none waits open.
Interfaces
Set-out from the structural grid; penetrations, pattresses and service zones framed from the coordinated drawings. Deviations are recorded and reported, not absorbed.
Supervision
A named working supervisor on site, running the same RAMS and inspection discipline the company applies to its envelope packages.
QA and records
Set-out record, pre-boarding photographs of concealed services, fixing and joint schedules, and a final raking-light surface check, issued zone by zone.

The record behind each entry.

Each entry worded to what the documents prove, and nothing upgraded past its evidence.

Drylining evidence here is a record set, not a gallery. Each entry is labelled by what the documents actually prove: delivery, archival self-published scope, or documented commercial involvement.

59 Addington Road, CR2 8RD

On its own seven-flat development in South Croydon, Dmitro acted as principal contractor for demolition and whole-building construction, and carried the internal partitions, drylining and fire-stopping inside its own programme. This is design-and-build capability evidence, not a subcontract case study.

Scheme
Seven flats, two storeys plus roof level
Internal scope
Partitions, drylining, fire-stopping and fit-out stages

All projects

How the package runs on site.

Six stages, in the order the wall is actually built. Each carries its own interface obligation, the part a main contractor’s programme depends on.

  1. Set-out

    Partition lines set out from the structural grid to a laser datum; floor and head tracks fixed and the set-out record returned before framing starts.

    Interface: Set-out sheets issued for approval against the coordinated drawings.

  2. Metal stud framing

    C-stud framing erected plumb between tracks at the specified centres, with deflection heads, openings and pattresses framed in, not cut in later.

    Interface: Service penetrations framed from the MEP coordination, deviations recorded.

  3. Plasterboard systems

    Manufacturer board systems, Gyproc and GTEC on the company record, fixed to the specified build-up, seams landing on studs.

    Interface: Closing boards held until first-fix services are signed off zone by zone.

  4. Tape and jointing

    Joints taped, filled and feathered; field screws spotted. The faster dry finish where the programme calls for it.

    Interface: Joint and fixing schedule kept as part of the QA record.

  5. Plastering

    Skim and finish coats brought to one true, decoration-ready plane.

    Interface: Surface tolerance checked under a raking light before offer-up.

  6. Inspection and handover

    Zone-by-zone sign-off with the concealed-work photos, fixings schedule and surface checks issued as the handover record.

    Interface: QA pack handed over per zone, not saved up for practical completion.
