Drywall - who knew?

After a series of meetings with sub-contractors, it's interesting how universally powerful the drywall sub is to the overall process of building assembly. And interestingly, in the world of BIM, they may actually be the furthest behind in technology and tools that would allow their participation in a model coordination pre-construction environment. Parametric sequencing of stud layouts does not seem that much of a stretch, especially in this day and age of packages like Generative Components or Revit, but without this key stakeholder engaged in the process, it seems there may be some ceiling to the overall efficiency improvements in BIM coordination?
