Legal suite drywall in Precedence, built to the suite spec

A legal secondary suite has to meet the City of Calgary spec to pass inspection — fire-rated separation between the suite and the main floor, sound-dampened party walls and moisture-resistant board where it is needed. In Precedence we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Precedence is a growing Cochrane community where settling cracks and finishing work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Precedence and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Precedence?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Precedence depends on the suite size and the rated assemblies — the fire separation, sound walls and moisture-resistant areas all add to a plain basement finish. We price off the suite layout and the spec.

Built to pass in Precedence

Suite conversions are common here, and the drywall is a big part of passing inspection. We build the fire and sound assemblies to the City of Calgary suite spec so your Precedence suite passes. Basement development is common in Precedence, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Our Precedence legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Precedence the key element is the fire-rated separation between the suite and the main floor — we install the required Type X ceiling assembly to spec.

Sound, moisture and finish

We add sound-dampening to the party walls so the suite and main floor are not living in each other's noise, moisture-resistant board in the bathroom and wet areas, then tape and finish everything flat. The finished Precedence suite clears inspection and feels genuinely liveable. A lot of our Precedence work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Precedence suite

Fire and sound separation

A Precedence legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. The Precedence drywall carries both.

Moisture protection and finishing

Wet areas take moisture-resistant board and the full suite leaves flat and paint-ready. For Precedence assembly detail, see Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary. A lot of our Precedence work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.
