Why Auckland projects need professional plasterboard & lining

Plasterboard (often called GIB or drywall) forms the smooth canvas that every paint colour, tile or wall covering relies on. When joints are lipped, fasteners pop or sheets are bowed, those flaws telegraph straight through your finish. Professional interior lining installers bring calibrated tools, laser levels and time-tested techniques that DIY crews rarely master. They handle everything from villa re-lines and seismic bracing upgrades to the Level 5 finish demanded by premium apartments on the Viaduct. Their workflow also protects surrounding areas, manages dust and delivers the speed commercial programmes require.

Typical services offered

  • Supply, cutting and fixing of plasterboard to walls, ceilings, bulkheads and partitions
  • Tape & jointing to Level 3–5 finish, including spray stopping for large areas
  • Installation of negative details, shadow-lines, access panels and aluminium trims
  • Specialised linings such as braceline, aqua-line, fibrolite, acoustic and fire-rated systems
  • Steel stud framing, battens and suspended ceilings
  • Project management, site protection and waste removal

Compliance & performance

Under the New Zealand Building Code fire resistance requirements, internal linings must meet minimum fire, impact and moisture standards. Experienced Auckland installers understand the difference between a simple R2.4 acoustic wall and a full FRR 60/60/60 inter-tenancy barrier, ensuring the correct board type, fixing centres and sealants are used. They also co-ordinate inspections so your consent documentation is signed off without delays.

Cost guide for 2025

For a standard new-build you can expect to pay:

  • $28–$35 per m2 for supply & fix of 10 mm GIB
  • $10–$14 per m2 for stopping to Level 4 paint finish
  • +15–25 % for high stud ceilings, curved walls or Level 5
  • Travel or access charges for islands and CBD high-rise sites

Obtaining at least three itemised quotes via ArchiPro will clarify allowances for trims, battens and scaffolding.

Timing & sequencing

Plasterboard fixing typically follows rough-in by electricians and plumbers. In Auckland’s humid climate, installers may ask for dehumidifiers to run before stopping starts. A 250 m2 single-level house usually takes 3–4 days to line and 4–5 days to stop, ready for painters.
