    We have just taken a lease on a new premises and starting to plan works.

    This insulation board is on every wall.

    What are the options to finish this as a smooth finish?

    Ive been told a frame and plasterboard is needed but im looking for all options.

    Thanks

    Assuming you need electrics among that wall, so yeah, frame and plasterboard is the usual option.

    Get 70mm Metal studs and plasterboard. Think about about what your hanging before you go at it.

    Depending on your proposed use surface mounting of the electrics might be better to allow future changes.

    Changes are very easy with a stud wall and it looks cleaner

    I agree changes are easy and it looks cleaner. But I have found that the ease can be a problem - I've seen so many small offices with holes punched here there and everywhere in stud walls and not replaced afterwards.

    If it's going to be an office with computers, etc. I'd consider putting trunking along the wall for the network and power cabling to the desks, etc. if the budget doesn't stretch to structured cabling in the floor or ceiling - which would obviously be way nicer!
