Make a new layout work in daily life
Before planning a partition, we discuss circulation, door openings and the furniture that will occupy the room. A plan showing what currently gets in your way is more useful than an inspiration image alone.
Albahri Innenausbau · Berlin
Drywall in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg
An extra wall can create a room while taking away useful furniture space. For your Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg project, we include the door position and intended fittings so both sides of the new division remain practical before the wall is closed.
Before work starts
Let’s check the details that could hold up your renovation
Access, existing materials and rooms you still need to use can change the order of work. Tell us about your property so we can plan around it.
Prepare for work in an occupied building
Tell us whether rooms will remain occupied and which shared routes need to stay clear. Work areas, material storage and coordination with building management should be discussed before strip-out begins.
Plan the fit-out and furnishings together
For a shop or studio, the counter, workstations and storage help determine the layout. If fittings are already ordered, we need their dimensions and delivery details to coordinate the work.
What your project can include
Know what you’re asking for before comparing quotes
Use this scope as a starting point. We discuss the work, materials and handovers your property needs, then confirm what belongs in the quote.

- Wall and ceiling linings
- Insulation within the agreed system
- Preparation for further finishing work
Get the important decisions out of the way early
Choose a suitable wall construction
Framework, boards, insulation and connections form a system. The choice depends on room height, use and the agreed acoustic and, where relevant, fire requirements.
Identify loads early
Wall cabinets, heavy shelving and sanitary fittings need suitable fixings and possibly reinforcement. These loads must be known before the wall is closed.
Match the preparation to the wall finish
Not every joint finish suits every coating. Raking light, smooth paint finishes and special wall coverings should be discussed early so the preparation suits the intended result.
What to send us
The floor plan, desired wall positions, door openings and planned loads form the basis. Technical requirements are agreed specifically; general acoustic or fire protection promises do not replace system design.
What affects the quote
Wall height, construction, insulation, openings, access and the desired finish affect the quotation. Simple square-metre comparisons often overlook these differences.

Questions about your Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg project
Anything else on your mind?
Write to us.
Are drywall partitions load-bearing?
The partitions described here are non-load-bearing. Existing structural elements must not be altered without appropriate assessment.
Can doors be installed in a drywall partition?
Yes, if the framework and opening are designed for the intended door system. Door weight and frame type belong in the planning.
Can I enquire about changing the layout only?
Yes. Explain what the current layout prevents you from doing and whether doors, ceilings or finishes also need changing. An existing element cannot be judged removable from a floor-plan image alone.
Can existing fitted items stay during the work?
This can often be considered in the plan, subject to their condition and the access needed for the work. Mark the items you want to retain on your photos.
