        "text": "The cost is driven by structural scale, wall height, utility density, and the required drywall finish level. Metal buildings often feature high eave heights of 14 to 20 feet; framing and hanging sheetrock on tall perimeter walls or building full-height demising partitions requires heavier gauge studs, cross-bracing, and lifts, which increases labor and material costs. Dividing a clear-span interior into multiple small offices with doors and acoustic insulation costs substantially more per square foot than building a single perimeter partition. Additional cost factors include whether code requires Type X fire-rated board, moisture-resistant drywall around wash bays or plumbing, or a smooth Level 5 paint finish.",
