Rebuilding Post-Fire

The top floor of my row house was recently in a fire and the walls in the front room was totally destroyed. The beams seem to be fine, but the plaster walls were ripped out by the fire dept. I’ve talked to a few contractors and most say they won’t put up a plaster wall back up. I would rather have a solid plaster wall to replace the original one. I just love those solid walls and I hate fragility of sheet rock. Does anyone know of a licence contractor that does it or should I convince my contractor to use grid wire and plaster to rebuild the wall instead of using sheet rock? Or rebuild with plaster and cover with sheetrock for finish?

Blueboard with veneer plaster is the way to go. If you want to save $$ why not just sheetrock and then have someone skimcoat a thin layer of compound over it. It looks like a real plaster/lath wall in that it has the organic subtle modulations that plaster has.
The other option for plaster is putting up “blue board” or “Imperial Board” and having a plasterer skim coat veneer plaster over it. That is how high end homes are done these days with plaster walls
