Production of drywall partitions for office and residential premises
Currently, in the construction and redevelopment of premises, plasterboard partitions are often used. They are convenient both in residential and in office premises.
The advantages of drywall partitions using the example of a standard office
Office partitions are designed so that when a large number of workers are in the same room, each of them has their own likeness of an office.
Thus, one rather large room, which in itself is not very convenient for individual work (other people visually and noise distract the worker), turns into a sufficient number of cells, such as small offices, separated from at least three sides.
In addition, in this way, for example, the confidentiality of negotiations with visitors is optimized - the walls block the clerk and his client from strangers.
Nowadays, very often plaster, foam concrete or aerated concrete is used to build capital partitions. For all their undoubted advantages, they have several significant drawbacks: such office partitions are non-separable, heavy and bulky, which may not have the best effect on ceilings, especially if the building is old - because the weight of the partitions creates an additional load on them.
In addition, floors and walls are subjected to quite deep (about 10 cm) drilling. But the main, the disadvantage of plaster office partitions is that when they are dismantled, serious repairs will have to be done to eliminate the signs of their being in the room.
It is precisely because of the above factors that many organizations prefer to purchase office partitions from plasterboard or glass-magnesite sheet. The differences between these two materials are insignificant, except that the LSU (glass-magnesite sheet) bends slightly and is more resistant to moisture.
Installation of drywall partitions takes a little longer than laying the previous ones, but this factor is not an obstacle to many advantages: partitions of this type are lightweight, do not require special processing and alignment after installation, all communications are freely fit inside the partition - electrical wiring, telephone and network cables and etc.
In addition, for the manufacture of a drywall (glass-magnesite) structure, access to water is not required (as for gypsum, foam and aerated concrete, which are fastened together with special solutions mixed in place on the spot).
Installation of an office partition from plasterboard
The actual installation of the gypsum board partition consists of two stages . On the first of them, in accordance with a previously approved scheme, a frame for future partitions from a special galvanized profile is being constructed. The main (bearing) vertical and horizontal elements are attached to the floor and walls (as well as to the ceiling, if the partition reaches it).
Thinner and lighter elements fill the resulting frame in the form of a lattice with a cell of about 50x50 cm. They serve as a reinforcing structure - the plasterboard partition itself is hollow inside.
At the second stage, the actual drywall (glass-magnesite) sheets are fastened directly to the resulting frame. The second stage, as a rule, is shorter than the first, and the whole cycle (for partitions, for example, with a height of 1.5 and a total length of 20 m) will not take more than 2 days for 2 people.
Costs for the production of drywall partitions
Consumables are paid by the customer, so its cost is not essential for calculating net profit. Tool costs are as follows:
- Impact drill 2 pcs. - only 7, 788 rubles.
- Set of universal drills 2 pcs. - only 622 rubles.
- Cordless screwdriver 2 pcs. - only 14, 286 rubles.
- A set of bits for a screwdriver 2 pcs. - only 1, 158 rubles.
- Measuring tape 2 pcs. - a total of 494.76 rubles.
- Electronic level 1 pc. - 5500 rub.
- Drywall knife 1 pc. - 108.26 rubles
TOTAL: 29957.02 rub.
The cost of manufacturing 1 square. m of a typical drywall partition (i.e. without insulation and in 1 layer of material on each side) - as a rule, from 350 to 400 rubles. depending on the region.
If we take the arithmetic average price - 375 rubles., Then with the usual volume, for example 30 square meters. m in 2 days for 24 working days in a month profit will be 270, 000 rubles. Including wages to employees - 35, 000 rubles. to the "master" and 25, 000 to the "helper", more than 200, 000 of net profit remains. As you can see, the cost of the tool pays off in the first month.
Factors affecting the amount of profit in the production of drywall partitions
Of course, all of the above profits are designed for an ideal work progress. In fact, a novice entrepreneur will receive no more than 25-50% of the above amounts. Gradually, when the situation stabilizes and the enterprise reaches its predetermined capacity, profit will amount to about a quarter of a million rubles.
It should be noted that this amount will be earned in the construction season, which lasts about six months. In order to avoid overpriced wages for employees in off-season months, it is advisable to introduce a piecework wage form during this period. Sufficiently high pay in the remaining months will encourage them not to quit work at the current enterprise and not move on to competitors.Pavel Biryukov
