Install the supporting rails in the prepared hangers, while rechecking how even they are installed.
Make markings for longitudinal profiles, which must be left after 60 cm across or along after 40 cm. Install the guides so that they do not go from the edge into the fasteners of the next part. Fasten with "crabs" or with two pieces of the initial profile. Add a hanger to the middle of each element to keep the structure strong.
Proceed to sheathing the frame with sheets of drywall. It is better to treat the sheets with a waterproofing agent (primer). Be sure to leave space to the walls. Fasten the elements to the self-tapping screws every 20 cm. Staggered arrangement. Close the gap between the wall and the next HPC element with a piece of sheet, cutting it in half.
