For businesses, GCs & buildersOffice, retail, clinic and industrial fit-outs, plus builder and developer packages, priced from your drawings.
For homeowners & custom buildersBasements, additions and custom homes, finished to a standard you can see under any light.
Behind every wall
Most walls pass through three or four subcontractors before they're ready for paint. We do framing, insulation, board, tape and ceilings ourselves, so the crew that frames your wall answers for how it looks when it's finished.
Steel studs laid out from your drawings, chalk-lined on site and signed off before a single stud goes up. Straight, plumb framing is what makes a flat wall possible.
The right insulation for each assembly: spray foam on concrete and in additions, sound batts between rooms and offices. Sealed before the board covers it for good.
Board hung tight and screwed to pattern, with the right product in the right place: Type X where fire rating calls for it, moisture-resistant below grade.
Three coats with real drying time between them, sanded and checked under raking light. Level 4 as standard; Level 5 on every custom home and anywhere big glass or sheen paint will show joints.
T-bar acoustic grids laser-levelled and coordinated with lights, diffusers and sprinklers, plus drywall bulkheads and ceilings where the design calls for them.

≈ $8.75–$19.25 per sq ft of floor (floor × 3.5)
Rule of thumb: floor area × 3.5 ≈ sq ft of board. A 2,000 sq ft home ≈ 7,000 sq ft of board ≈ $17,500–$38,500. Your free site visit turns this into an exact, itemised number.
