Drywall only looks as good as the framing behind it. We frame walls, ceilings and bulkheads so the board goes on flat and stays that way.
Crooked studs, uneven spacing and poorly planned bulkheads all show through the finished wall. Careful framing — plumb, level and laid out for the board size — is what makes taping and finishing straightforward instead of a battle.
Steel studs are the standard for commercial fit-outs: straight, consistent and non-combustible. Wood framing is common in basements and home additions. We work in both and choose based on the project, not habit.
Either way, layout matters. Stud spacing has to match the board, openings need proper headers and backing, and corners need solid nailing surfaces.
Ductwork, beams and plumbing often need to be boxed in. A well-planned bulkhead is sized to the services inside it and positioned so the finished room still feels intentional.
Dropped ceilings and soffits are framed to a consistent height with the board layout in mind, so seams land where they are easiest to finish.
Framing is the right moment to plan insulation, vapour control, wiring and blocking for future fixtures. Once the board is up, every one of those gets more expensive.
If you have existing framing that is out of square or damaged, tell us — correcting it before boarding is far cheaper than fixing the finish afterward.
Clear expectations. A considered plan.
A finish that brings the room together.
Room sizes, ceiling heights, photos and any drawings — and whether framing, electrical, plumbing and insulation are finished.
Agree on board types (standard, moisture-resistant, fire-rated or acoustic), the finish level and what is excluded from the scope.
Sheets are hung to minimise joints, fastened, then taped and finished in coats with drying time between them.
Check the surfaces together under normal lighting and settle any touch-ups before the space goes to primer and paint.

Yes. We frame walls, ceilings and bulkheads in steel or wood studs, then board and finish them. One crew for both stages keeps the details consistent.
Commercial interiors usually call for steel; residential basements and additions often use wood. We will recommend based on your project, code requirements and budget.
Often, yes. We assess what is there, correct what is out of tolerance and confirm the rest is sound before boarding.
Framing is the stage to plan those. Confirm in your written scope which trades are included and which are handled by others.
