Steps
Access USG's Submittal Builder tool at assemblies-tools.usg.com/content/usgcom/en/submittal-builder.html to search and compile product data sheets, SDS, and installation guides into a single submittal PDF
Use USG's separate Assembly/Design Studio tools to search fire- and sound-rated assemblies by wall type, rating, and framing
Confirm USG still operates under its own brand (usg.com) for US technical resources despite being a wholly owned Knauf subsidiary since the April 2019 acquisition -- don't redirect searches to a generic 'Knauf' site for US assemblies
For Canadian projects, note the parallel CGC Inc. (usg.com/content/usgcom/en_CA_east) tools and submittal builder rather than the US portal
Cross-check assembly details pulled from the digital tool against the current GA-600 listing if the project spec references the Gypsum Association manual directly rather than USG's proprietary design numbers
Known gotchas
USG was acquired by Germany's Knauf in April 2019, but the USG brand, usg.com domain, and US technical tools remain in active use -- searching only 'Knauf' technical resources will miss USG-specific submittal tools and assembly numbers still used in US specs
USG's own proprietary assembly numbers don't always map one-to-one with GA-600 or UL design numbers -- verify which numbering system the project spec actually calls for before submitting
