which building order? floor/wall/ceiling

[Yrrol]

I dare say that a complete renovation is underway at my place, it's progressed to the point where we're moving from demolition work to new installation.

Open walls, bare floors, and no ceiling. In what order should one proceed... I guess the order is Wall, ceiling, floor?

Is it indoors where you can see the insulation everywhere? That's the image I got.

I would lay the floor first so I have something to walk on, then the ceiling when there's a lot of floor space to move around on (If it's practically possible), then the outer walls, and finally the interior walls.

Note by floor I don't mean the parquet.

Hmm, inner ceiling before the panels against the outer walls... won't it be a bit wrong if the inner ceiling goes above the wall panels then?

Hmm, interior ceiling before the boards against the exterior walls... won't it be a bit problematic if the interior ceiling goes above the wallboards then?

As I said, it's a bit tricky when you're seeing the construction and I'm not.
If everything is framed and ready, so you can cover everything, i.e., ceiling and walls, it doesn't matter, I find it easier that way, because you get the same alignment on the ceiling boards (or whatever you plan for the ceiling). The only downside is you might bump something into the ceiling. Then it depends on whether you're going to have interior walls or not. If not, then you can do the exterior walls first.

What's it like now?
Upstairs?
Choice of materials?

Maybe I can give a more accurate picture of how I would proceed.

I need to buy myself a new digital camera, haha.. (or find the one that disappeared during the move)

I have removed some masonite boards from the outer walls... I have removed masonite boards on one side of the inner walls for the purpose of insulating and running electricity...

The outer walls will get new masonite, the inner walls will get plasterboard.

Insulation and plastic are available, but I need to tape the damages.

I have torn down the paper ceiling and it will be plasterboard, which will then be filled to become a completely smooth jointless ceiling.

There is a cold attic on the upper floor but that will be a later interior project.

I have removed some fiberboard sheets from the exterior walls... I have removed fiberboard sheets from one side of the interior walls for the purpose of insulating and wiring.

The exterior walls will get new fiberboard, the interior walls will get plasterboard.

Insulation and plastic are available, but I need to tape the damages.

I have torn down the paper ceiling and it will be plasterboard which will then be spackled to become a completely smooth, seamless ceiling.

There is an unfinished attic upstairs, but it will be a later renovation project.

Ok, so base floor exists. Why not plasterboard on exterior walls?

I imagined a large room where new partition walls will go up. You save a lot of time by doing the ceiling first.

In your situation, it probably doesn't make that big of a difference. But I would still hang the ceiling first, avoiding potential issues with moldings if you decide you want a shadow molding or even just a joint. Or if you plan to install a partition wall somewhere to eventually take it down, etc.

Always nice to have as much material on the ceiling as possible.

The floor first so you have something to walk on. Then outer wall or inner ceiling. I prefer to take the wall but that's just me. Then up with the inner ceiling. The inner walls are done last of all.

Well as they say. Different strokes for different folks. The main thing is to have a floor to walk ond^_^b
