Drywallers USA/Canada: Who does more?
Having read the thread posted by Davey about drywall rates in Alberta, I see a huge spread in pricing across North America. I am curious how daily production relates to the piece rate. Do those who make a higher piece rate produce as much as those who get a lower rate?
Here in Utah I think we may have to produce more footage per day than anybody, anywhere, just to survive. Typically, per man, we hang 1400sf/day of 1/2" on low walls and ceilings for .10/sf or $140/day. We finish, smooth level 4 about 800sf/day - cornerbead included - for .20/sf or $160/day.
How many feet or sheets can you typically hang, or finish, in an 8 hour day?
Is it high or low? 1/2" or 5/8"? Smooth or textured? Hourly or piece rate?
What do you make in a day?
Where are you?
I'm talking about production work, either residential or commercial, not remodels.
No bragging, just the facts.

Thanks Cap, I tried to clean it up a little - see if my post makes more sense now.
What I am trying to understand is, if somebody is making .35 to .65 per foot, do they crank out as much footage in a day as I do, who only gets half that per foot? Do they actually make twice as much money in a day as me?
How many feet or sheets do you put out in a day?
