For GCs and facility teams
Built for General Contractors, Property Managers and Facility Teams
On a commercial job the drywall trade sits on the critical path. If framing slips, mechanical close-in slips, and the finish trades behind us stack up.
We plan manpower against your look-ahead schedule, flag conflicts at coordination meetings and keep the site clean enough for the next trade to start on time. Submittals, daily reports and safety paperwork are handled by us, not left for your superintendent.
Property managers get the same discipline on smaller work: tenant improvements, demising walls and suite turnovers booked around occupants and building hours.
Sectors
Sectors We Work In Around Kingston
Retail and Restaurant Build-Outs
Tight opening dates, landlord work letters and coordination with kitchen equipment and plumbing rough-in. We phase work so fixtures can go in behind us.
Healthcare and Long-Term Care Interiors
Kingston is a regional hospital and care hub. We work behind infection-control hoarding, in occupied facilities and after hours when the building needs it.
Institutional and Education Projects
Queen's University, St. Lawrence College and local school boards run renovation work in summer shutdown windows. We plan crews so those windows are not wasted.
Industrial and Warehouse Interiors
Office boxes inside warehouses, washroom blocks and rated separations between production and office space in the industrial parks off Highway 401.
Multi-Residential and Apartment Buildings
Party walls, corridors and suite demising with the fire and sound ratings the drawings call for, plus unit turnovers for landlords between tenancies.

Assemblies
Commercial Wall and Ceiling Assemblies We Build
Commercial drywall is assembly work. We build to the listed design on your drawings, not to a best guess, and we flag anything on site that does not match the listing before it gets covered.
Load Bearing and Non Load Bearing Steel Stud Partitions
Non-structural partitions in 25 and 20 gauge, and structural studs to the engineer's shop drawings. Details on our steel stud framing page.
Fire Rated and ULC Listed Assemblies
Type X and Type C board installed to the ULC or UL design number, with rated penetrations and firestopping coordinated with the sealant trade.
Shaft Walls and Elevator Enclosures
CH-stud and J-track shaft wall systems built from one side, with liner panels for stair and elevator shafts and mechanical chases.
Acoustic Partitions and Sound Attenuation
STC-rated walls with mineral wool, resilient mounting and acoustic sealant at the head and base. More on our soundproofing page.
Impact and Abuse Resistant Board
High-impact board for school corridors, care home hallways and gyms, where standard gypsum gets punched through in the first year.
Exterior Sheathing and Soffit Board
Glass-mat exterior sheathing behind cladding systems and exterior soffit board under canopies and entrances.
Compliance
Insurance, WSIB and Site Documentation
A GC scanning a subcontractor usually wants the same four things. We have them ready before mobilisation, not after the first site meeting.
- WSIB clearance certificate, current and renewed on schedule.
- Certificate of general liability insurance, with your company added as additional insured on request.
- Working at Heights and WHMIS training records for every installer on site.
- Site-specific safety plan, hazard assessments and toolbox talk records.
If your tender requires bonding or a specific safety certification, tell us at bid stage. We will confirm in writing what we can provide rather than promise it on the phone.
Process
How We Handle Tenders, Change Orders and Schedule
- 1
Take-Off and Bid
Send drawings and specs. We take off from the documents and return a priced scope with clear inclusions and exclusions.
- 2
Submittals
Product data, assembly listings and schedules submitted early so approvals do not hold up framing.
- 3
Mobilisation and Layout
Layout checked against drawings and mechanical rough-in before track goes down, so we fix clashes on paper.
- 4
Change Orders
Mid-project changes are priced in writing before work proceeds. No surprise extras at the end of the job.
- 5
Deficiency Walk and Close-Out
We walk the space with your superintendent, work the punch list and hand over close-out documents promptly.
FAQ
Commercial Drywall Questions From Contractors
Straight answers to the questions we hear on site visits every week.
What crew size can you put on a Kingston site?
We size the crew to your schedule and confirm the number at tender stage. For bigger phases we plan manpower week by week against your look-ahead so the headcount matches the work that is actually released.
How fast can you turn around a tender or take-off?
Tell us the bid closing date when you send drawings. We prioritise by close date and let you know right away if we cannot price it properly in time, rather than sending a rushed number.
Can you work nights and weekends in an occupied building?
Yes. Hospitals, offices and retail often need noisy work done after hours. We plan dust containment, quiet periods and daily clean-up around occupants.
Do you supply the steel stud and board or does the GC?
Either works. Most of our commercial jobs are supply and install, which keeps material scheduling and waste on us. We can also install owner-supplied material when that suits the contract.
What is your bonding and insurance capacity?
We carry general liability insurance and WSIB coverage, and provide certificates before mobilisation. If a project needs bonding, raise it at tender stage and we will confirm in writing what is available for that job.

Ceilings, Framing and Acoustics From the Same Trade
Many fit-outs also need T-bar and suspended ceilings and insulation behind the board. Keeping them with one contractor cuts the number of hand-offs on your schedule.
