It's been "common" practice here on comm jobs that one side of the wall gets rocked.
99% is sheetmetal studs. Yes, we have to cut the holes, on 1 side. Yes, it takes a little time.
Rocking one side holds the studs together, and gives us a fighting chance to pull mc thru without having to worry about pulling the studs down.
All in all, I don't think it's that big a deal.
BTW: Sandro,
If my guys did what you said, the job would be over for them, and for me. We have a good relationship with the other contractors on our jobs, as most of our work goes thru three construction management companies. The CM's run a tight ship, and won't stand for any "bickering", and if you damage "others" work, you will be back charged. You sound like your'e at the breaking point....a little hostility??
