Plasterboard ceilings or walls first?

[iaink]

Would it be ok to plasterboard my walls first as my electrician needs into the ceiling first? as he needs to run cables etc.

Do what you like - it's your house.

It's "always" better to do the ceilings first. Things done in order make any job run easier.

Wait till the spark has finished wiring & then board the ceilings first. Won’t he also need access to the walls to run & terminate the cables to light switch/socket outlet boxes?

do the ceilings first.

if you happen to have a ceiling joist tight against the wall, this may get swallowed up by the wall plaster thickness, thus leaving you with little material to nail the ceiling boards into.

the cables in the walls are already in

I’d still wait till he's finished & then board the ceilings first; what's the rush
