Glazed or plasterboard?

Plasterboard is usually the cheapest way to create a solid room and performs well acoustically when insulated. Glazing costs more but keeps natural light across the floor and makes small rooms feel larger. Many offices combine the two, with glazed fronts on corridors and solid walls between rooms.

How to get an accurate price

Send a floor plan or sketch with the rooms you want, approximate wall lengths, ceiling height and type, and photos of the space. That is usually enough for a guide price before a site survey confirms the details.
