I have now installed chipboard flooring, mounted a grid panel in the ceiling, and framed all the interior walls in my newly built upper floor.
Just for confirmation: The workflow for the rest is:
1. Install the ceiling (panel ceiling)
2. OSB/Plasterboard on the walls
3. Install the interior floor
Is that right?

There might be a reason to switch 1 and 2, and it depends on how high your ceiling is. If you just have enough space for a plasterboard, it's unwise to install the ceiling first, which might mean you'll have to cut each plasterboard. If you have to cut them anyway, it doesn't matter much.
Personally, I think the walls should be put up first so that the ceiling fits inside the plasterboard, rather than having the plasterboard come under the ceiling. But that's because I hate ceiling moldings and prefer to use a sealant instead, which I find easier if the ceiling comes down a bit onto the plasterboard...

Hmm, I don't agree with you on that.. It's easier to install the wall plaster after the ceiling and press the wall plaster against the ceiling - then that joint will be as tight as possible.. You don't even have to be so careful with the wall plaster since you will be installing baseboards anyway. You have to be really careful if you're going to do it the other way around so that the last piece of the ceiling fits exactly against the wall... But it's a matter of taste like everything else.Gladh said:

Just wanted to say that I totally agree!
Cut one piece of drywall per meter at the right height instead of 10 boards. You will cut yourself to death if you don't plan to put up any crown molding. I would have even installed the paneling before I built the walls, because you can't frame ALL the walls before you start boarding anyway.

It's easier to place the wall gypsum after the ceiling and press the wall gypsum up against the ceiling - then the seam becomes as tight as possible.. You don't even have to be that precise with the wall gypsum since you're going to install a skirting board anyway. You have to be really careful if you're going to do the opposite so that the last ceiling piece fits exactly against the wall... But I guess it's a matter of taste like everything else.
And I don't completely agree with you. It depends on what the ceiling panel looks like, if it's profiled for example. Then there will be a gap between each board if you fit the gypsum against the ceiling instead of the panel against the gypsum and neither tight nor sealed

I completely agree with that, but I was responding to Gladh's post and if you are not supposed to have ceiling moldings but a joint in the ceiling angle, I assumed it was a gypsum ceiling he meant (though now that I read it again, it actually doesn't say anything about that - just me assuming ) - and then I definitely think you should install the ceiling first and then the walls.
If you have a panel ceiling and don't want any ceiling molding, I completely agree with you that it's nicer to butt the panel against the wall. So in that case, ceiling first - wall then. (though I almost think it looks nicer with ceiling molding if it's a panel ceiling, and then it's easier with ceiling first - wall then )

)But it's stated in Gladh's point 1. "Install the ceiling (panel ceiling)". So what is it that makes you have to assume plaster?Styx said:I completely agree with that, but I responded to Gladh's post and if you're not supposed to have ceiling moldings but instead a seal in the ceiling angle then I assumed it was a plaster ceiling he meant (though when I read it again, it actually doesn't say that - just me assuming

Oh no!!
I actually didn't mention whether it was plaster or panel, but I based it on the questioner's post where point 1 states it's a panel ceiling, and that's what I assumed.
In any case, it turned into a discussion, which is always fun... and besides, I love my saw and prefer to always use it

If the roof is to be installed first, make sure there is something left to screw the wall drywall into up towards the roof "hammarbandet". It's not good if the roof has been built down so much that you can only attach the board to the standing wall studs, then you'll need to kottla in......
Thanks for all the feedback... Unfortunately, a whole plasterboard won't fit, so I have to cut them.
1. Install OSB board
2. Install panel ceiling
3. Install plasterboard (at the top, attach the plasterboard to the OSB)
I will encounter this problem in some rooms (where the "hammarbandet" is attached to the "hanbandet"). I thought I'd do it like this (which should work???)kimpo said:

Works perfectly well!
But, for the sake of discussion...
What do you all think about installing all the ceiling panels before the wall battens are mounted? That way, you would require the least cutting, and you can push the boards up against the ceiling when they are installed. Then there won't be any problems finding attachment points for the battens in the ceiling, since there is wood everywhere!
