Oasis has got it right and with thermal boards use some nailable plugs as well. Dont try to just screw fix it though.

why not batten the wall out with 25mm tile lath and use a vapour barrier..
insert 25mm cellotex inbetween battens, vapour barrier (screwfix nice and cheap) over the top then use normal 1/2" board with 25mm drywalls...
better fix, better job..

chris would it not be better using duplex boards instead of vapour barrier

How would he remove the boards after if they are skimmed up? or are they not skimmed ? confusing post this , you kneed to elaborate more on your post if you want the right answers, instead of every one guessing at what your after Mate. ??? Spunky tell em mate

theyd have to be left...
i was getting the impression reading between the lines that he's come up against a customer doing his own 'project management' - badly...
sounds like he's waiting for a plumber or the sparks and he's just gone to op "well cant you just board em up and skim em later so you can get on?, only thing is i need to get the floor up next week' etc..etc... we've all seen it all before..
only guessing like... maybe the advise should have been 'just tell the bloke to shut his cake hole and let you know when the plumbers been, you wont get paid twice!'

ive had customers tell me to quick overskim a bathroom with horribly wobby walls having been advised to straighten em out one way or another first only to have em on the phone a week later cos the tilers pulling his hair out...

whats the bettin op's on day rate? :
