Our windows will now arrive only at the end of January [emoji24].
Before we knew this, our site manager suggested that drywall work might start even before the windows are installed. He doesn’t see any problems with this, except that it will be a bit colder for the workers.
What do you think? We were actually concerned about moisture. But once everything is sealed and the screed is poured, it’s generally moist anyway [emoji848].
The weather-exposed side is taped up, while the other windows are still open. So far, no more rain has come in since the roof was installed just before Christmas.
On the ground floor, a small part of the walls will be built with drywall, and almost everything on the upper floor.
We’ve also heard from many people that the screed should be installed before drywall. Can you confirm this? I can’t remember anyone in our new development who had the screed put in before starting drywall [emoji848].

Chasing walls and installing cables, as well as fitting pipes and so on, can probably be done now, as long as it doesn't rain inside. It's cold inside anyway. By the time they finish with all that work, the windows will already be here. I would only have the plastering done once the windows are installed.

We have also heard from many that the screed should be installed before the drywall. Can you confirm this? In my opinion, the interior walls must be erected before the screed is laid, since the screed is applied room by room with edge insulation strips (perimeter insulation strips). Otherwise, the wall would have to be built on top of the screed, which is not professionally correct (soundproofing, expansion behavior for heated screeds, load bearing, etc.).
For drywall interior walls, it is common to erect the wall and board it on one side. On the other side, only a (half) panel is fixed at the bottom. Then the screed can be poured, leaving the wall open on the other side for later installation work.
