Steel stud framing is the foundation of every commercial drywall project and many residential ones too. Metal studs don't warp, shrink, or rot like wood — and they're required by code in most commercial applications. If you're building partition walls in an office, retail space, or multi-unit building in Calgary, steel stud framing is where it starts. We install it straight, plumb, and to spec so the drywall that goes on top looks right.
When You Need Steel Stud Framing
Steel stud framing is needed for commercial partition walls, office buildouts, retail fit-outs, ceiling grids, soffits, and bulkheads. It's required by Alberta Building Code in most commercial construction. Residential applications include basement suite partitions, garage conversions, and any project where fire ratings or dimensional stability are required. Steel studs are straighter and more consistent than wood, which means the finished drywall surface is flatter and more uniform. If you're building walls that need to be perfect, steel studs are the right choice.
Our Steel Stud Framing Process
We lay out the wall locations per plan, install floor and ceiling tracks, and stand the studs at the specified spacing — typically 16" or 24" on centre depending on the application. Openings for doors, windows, and pass-throughs are framed with proper headers and jamb studs. We install blocking where needed for fixtures, cabinetry, and heavy wall-mounted items. All framing is plumb, level, and square. Once the framing is complete, the wall is ready for insulation, rough-ins, and drywall.
