Partition planning and gypsum specification for dental and medical clinics. We size walls, pick the right board for each room, and lay out lead shielding for X-ray and CBCT areas.

Partition planning for dental clinics, including X-ray room shielding, moisture- and fire-rated boards, and infection-control finishes.
Wall positions, door swings, and stud spacing planned around how the rooms will be used. We coordinate partition lines with the MEP rough-in so the contractor is not patching walls after equipment lands.
Type X gypsum where fire rating is required, moisture-resistant board for sterilization rooms and wet zones, and standard board elsewhere. Each wall gets a written assembly spec — stud size, board layers, joint compound, and fastener pattern.
Lead-lined gypsum or sheet lead behind standard board for radiation shielding. Typical specs: 1mm Pb-equivalent for intraoral rooms, 2mm for panoramic and CBCT. We mark shielding extents on the drawings so the installer covers seams and outlet boxes correctly.
Walls reviewed against fire separation requirements, infection-control finish standards, and the radiation safety rules that apply to imaging rooms. We document each wall type so the inspector has a single reference.
