As seen in the photo below, this support beam and posts are not isolated from the structure (wouldn't be a support beam otherwise!). Therefore, some work will be required to separate the drywall and the support structure in the future.

Structural reinforcement
Due to the additional weight being added to the ceiling (already 3 layers of 5/8" drywall under the subfloor, and 2 layers on the ceiling), it was necessary to determine that the joists could support the mass. My builder did some calculations, and although it seemed safe, decided to build a support beam under the joists that were 2' longer than the rest of the joists - to be sure.
