Factors Influencing Cost of Drywalling
The final cost of drywalling or room partitioning can be influenced by:
- Size of the Project: The larger the surface area that needs to be covered, the more materials and labour will be required, increasing the overall cost.
- Complexity of the Job: Projects that require intricate work, such as installing drywall around windows or doors, or working with high ceilings, can increase the cost due to the extra time and expertise required.
- Type of Drywall: There are different types of drywall, including standard, moisture-resistant, fire-resistant, and soundproof. Each type comes with a different price tag.
- Finish Level: The level of finish desired can also affect the cost. A smooth finish that’s ready for painting requires more work than a basic finish, leading to a higher price.
- Location of the Property: Where your property is located can also influence cost. If you live in a remote area or a place that’s difficult to access, contractors may charge more for travel time and transport costs.
- Additional Services: Extra services such as insulation, soundproofing, or painting will add to the overall cost.

- For a medium-sized room (3m x 3 m drywalled on two sides), you can expect to pay between R5,700 to R7,500.

Can I install drywall or a room partition myself?
While DIY is an option, it’s usually recommended to hire a professional to ensure the job is done safely, correctly, and to a high standard.
How long does it take to complete a drywalling project?
The time it takes to complete a drywalling project can vary depending on the size and complexity of the job. On average, a small room might take 1-2 days, while a larger project could take a week or more.
Can I have my drywall painted after installation?

What’s the difference between drywall and plaster?
While both materials are used to cover walls, they differ in composition and installation method. Drywall, also known as plasterboard, is a panel made of gypsum plaster sandwiched between two thick sheets of paper. It’s easier to install and less messy than traditional plaster, making it a popular choice for modern construction.
Can drywall be installed over existing walls?
Yes, drywall can be installed over existing walls. This can be a good option if the existing walls are damaged or if you want to add insulation or soundproofing.
