What affects the cost of fire-rated drywall in Mactaggart?

Area and assembly

The cost in Mactaggart depends on the area and the rated assembly required — a single-layer garage ceiling is different from a two-layer party wall. Expect Type X to price above regular board; the Mactaggart assembly build follows the rating. We price off the spec and a site look.

Passing inspection in Mactaggart

The common rated jobs here are garages and suites. The rating only holds if the assembly is built and sealed exactly to spec, so we install it to code and seal penetrations properly so your Mactaggart project passes the first time.
