The overcast system includes a first sidewall formed of one or more prefabricated panels, a second sidewall formed of one or more prefabricated panels, and a top member formed of one or more prefabricated panels, such that the top side spans the width between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. A fire-resistant coating is applied to at least a portion of the first sidewall, the second sidewall, or the top member to provide an air-tight, fireresistant structure. Each of the one or more prefabricated panels is formed from a composite material having one or more structural studs embedded at least partially therein. 85629381 (GHMatters) P104968.AUmZ / P.
