Metal stud framing, square and ready for drywall

A finished space is only as straight as the frame underneath it. We build steel-stud partition walls, bulkheads and basement layouts across Calgary — squared, plumbed and spaced to the drywall spec you need, whether that is a commercial tenant improvement or a basement development layout. We cover all four Calgary quadrants, Airdrie and Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of metal stud framing in Calgary?

Wall length, height and layout complexity

The cost of steel-stud framing in Calgary tracks the total wall length and height, the number of openings and bulkheads, and how complex the layout is. A single straight partition is quick; a full basement layout with multiple rooms and soffits takes more time and material. We price off the plan or a site walk-through.

Gauge and spacing to spec

Commercial tenant improvements often specify a heavier stud gauge and tighter spacing than a basement wall — we frame to whatever spec your project or the drywall load requires.

Our Calgary metal stud framing process, step by step

Layout first

We lay out track lines on the floor and ceiling from the plan or your walk-through direction, confirming every wall location before a single stud goes up.

Frame square and plumb

We install track, cut and set the studs to spacing, and check every wall for square and plumb as we go — the framing stage is where a crooked wall gets built or avoided, so we take the time here.

Framing for basements, offices and openings

Basement development layouts

A basement development layout is the most common metal stud job we do — framing bedrooms, bathrooms, a media room or a legal suite to the plan, ready for insulation and drywall.

Commercial partitions and bulkheads

For office and retail tenant improvements, we frame partition walls and bulkheads to hide ductwork and provide a clean, level surface for the ceiling and lighting trades.

Common metal stud framing situations in Calgary

New basement layouts

Most residential framing calls in Calgary are basement development — turning an open unfinished basement into a framed layout ready for the next trades.

Commercial buildouts

Office and retail tenant improvements need framing done to a tighter schedule and often a specific gauge and fire-rating spec, which we build to.

Why Calgary homeowners and businesses trust Emplastrum for metal stud framing

Square framing makes a flat finish possible

As a drywall and finishing company first, we frame walls the way we want to drywall them — square, plumb and properly spaced — because a crooked frame can never be fully hidden by finishing.
