Legal suite drywall in University District, 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 University District we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. University District is a brand-new NW Calgary community of 2010s-20s builds where fresh installation and Level 5 finishing are the usual work, so suite conversions are common here. We cover University District, Tuscany, Royal Oak, Rocky Ridge and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of legal suite drywall in University District?

Suite size and required assemblies

The cost in University District 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 University District

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 University District suite passes. A lot of our University District work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Our University District legal suite drywall process, step by step

Fire separation first

In University District 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 University District suite that passes inspection and feels like a proper home. Basement development is common in University District, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Fire, sound and moisture in a University District suite

Fire and sound separation

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

Moisture and finish

Bathrooms and wet areas get moisture-resistant board, and the whole suite finishes flat and paint-ready. See our Fire-Rated Drywall Calgary and Soundproofing Calgary pages for the University District assemblies involved. In University District basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.
