How much do metal stud partition walls cost? Factors that move your quote

Partition wall pricing is rarely a simple per-metre rate. A single-skinned office divider costs far less than a twin-wall FD60 corridor with fire stopping to structure.

Key cost drivers

  • Height — full height to slab vs suspended ceiling line
  • Fire rating — FD30 and FD60 build-ups need additional board layers and tested details
  • Acoustics — twin stud, insulation density, and acoustic seals
  • Glazing — framed glass partitions increase material and labour
  • Doors — fire doors, acoustic doors, and ironmongery packages
  • Access — occupied buildings, out-of-hours working, and protection
