Our Drywall Process for New Construction Projects

We handle every drywall project with attention to precise planning, skilled installation, and thorough finishing. Our approach ensures each phase aligns with industry standards and client expectations.

1. Project Assessment

At the start, we evaluate your new construction site carefully. We measure spaces and review architectural plans to identify specific drywall needs. This assessment helps us determine the right materials, quantities, and timelines for your project.



We discuss your goals in detail and offer recommendations based on factors like moisture resistance, soundproofing, or fire rating requirements. Our consultation ensures transparency regarding costs and scheduling before any work begins.

2. Precision Installation 

Our team applies industry-proven methods to install drywall sheets securely and accurately. We use laser levels and framing checks to maintain straight seams and flush surfaces. Fasteners are placed strategically to prevent future cracks or sagging.



We tailor installation to accommodate electrical wiring, plumbing, and HVAC elements. This flexibility avoids damage during other construction phases. Our crews work efficiently to minimize disruptions while maintaining quality.

3. Finishing and Inspection

After installation, we apply joint tape, compound, and sanding to create smooth, paint-ready walls and ceilings. Our finishing techniques focus on seamless joints and clean corners. Multiple inspection stages catch any imperfections early.



We conduct a final walkthrough with the builder or owner to confirm the drywall meets expectations. Any necessary touch-ups are completed before project closeout. Our commitment to detail ensures a professional, durable finish.

Frequently Asked Questions on Drywall for New Construction Projects

  • How much does new construction drywall cost per square foot?

    New construction drywall typically costs between $1.75 to $3.50 per square foot, including materials, installation, taping, mudding, and basic texturing. The price varies based on ceiling height, finish level required, and project complexity. New construction projects often receive volume pricing, making them more cost-effective than individual room installations. Fire-rated or specialty drywall applications may cost slightly more due to material requirements.

  • What's the average cost for drywall in a new home build?

    A typical new home drywall project ranges from $8,000 to $18,000, depending on home size and specifications. Most standard 2,000-2,500 square foot homes fall between $10,000 to $14,000 for complete drywall installation and finishing. The cost includes all interior walls and ceilings, standard texturing, and Level 4 finishing ready for paint.

  • How long does drywall installation take for new construction?

    New construction drywall installation typically takes 7-14 days for a standard home, depending on size and complexity. The timeline includes hanging drywall, taping and mudding multiple coats, texturing, and final cleanup. Weather conditions can affect drying times between coats. Long Beach Elite Drywall coordinates closely with general contractors to ensure drywall installation stays on schedule with the overall construction timeline.

  • What type of drywall is best for new construction homes?

    Standard 1/2-inch drywall is best for most new construction walls, while 5/8-inch drywall is recommended for ceilings and fire-rated applications. Moisture-resistant drywall should be used in bathrooms and areas prone to humidity. We recommend fire-rated Type X drywall for garage walls, utility rooms, and areas requiring fire separation. The specific drywall type depends on building codes and the home's design requirements.

  • How do you coordinate drywall with other construction trades?

    We coordinate drywall installation by working closely with general contractors to schedule around electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-in work. Drywall installation typically begins after all mechanical systems are installed and inspected. We communicate with other trades to avoid conflicts, protect our work from damage, and ensure smooth project flow.
