Legal suite drywall in Riviera, 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 Riviera we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Riviera is a new riverside Cochrane community where fresh installation and settling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Riviera and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in Riviera?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in Riviera 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 Riviera

Because Riviera is a new riverside Cochrane community where fresh installation and settling work are common, 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 Riviera suite passes.

Our Riviera legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In Riviera 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 result is a suite that passes inspection and feels like a proper home.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Riviera suite

Fire and sound separation

A Riviera legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. We build both into the drywall.

Moisture and finish

Bathrooms and wet areas get moisture-resistant board, and the whole suite is finished flat and paint-ready. See our fire-rated drywall and soundproofing pages for the assemblies involved.

Common legal suite situations in Riviera

Basement conversions

A new riverside cochrane community where fresh installation and settling work are common, so most suite drywall here is a basement conversion — turning an unfinished or older basement into a code-compliant secondary suite. We handle the fire, sound and moisture drywall as one job.

New builds with suites

On new Riviera builds designed with a legal suite, we board and finish the suite to spec alongside the main home. See our basement drywall page.
