Metal stud framing in Cityscape, square and ready for drywall

Straight Cityscape walls start with a straight frame — there is no other way. In Cityscape we build steel-stud partition walls, bulkheads and basement layouts — squared, plumbed and spaced to the drywall spec you need. Cityscape is an NE Calgary community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so framing calls range from straightforward basement layouts in the newer homes to repair and alteration work in the older ones nearby. We cover Cityscape, Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of metal stud framing in Cityscape?

Wall length, height and layout complexity

The cost of steel-stud framing in Cityscape tracks the total wall length and height, the number of openings and bulkheads, and how complex the layout is. We price off the plan or a site walk-through.

Typical framing work in Cityscape

Framing calls range from straightforward basement layouts in the newer homes to repair and alteration work in the older ones nearby. Ceilings in Cityscape are typically knockdown, and matching that pattern is the part of a repair people notice.

Our Cityscape 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 in your Cityscape space.

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. See our basement drywall work in Cityscape once the frame is up.

Framing for basements and openings in Cityscape

Basement development layouts

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

Openings and bulkheads

We frame partition walls and bulkheads to hide ductwork and provide a clean, level surface for the ceiling and lighting trades. A lot of our Cityscape work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Common metal stud framing situations in Cityscape

In Cityscape, cityscape is a community still building out. Homes there are current-build, so ceilings are typically knockdown and the work is new-build boarding and taping, basement development, and the first-season movement that shows up as a house dries out.

Why Cityscape homeowners 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 in Cityscape.

Fixed price, same-day reply

We cover Cityscape and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week. For Cityscape clients: free quote, fixed number, backed workmanship. New homes in Cityscape tend to have long unbroken wall runs and high ceilings, which changes how a seam has to be feathered.

What to expect from metal stud framing in Cityscape

Because the homes in Cityscape are still new, most of what we find is first-season movement rather than damage — hairline cracks at corners and the odd nail pop as the framing dries out.

A lot of the work in Cityscape starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing and ducting above it.

Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.
