Do you frame basement development layouts in Cornerstone?

Yes — framing a basement layout to plan, ready for insulation and drywall, is one of our most common metal stud jobs. We also cover Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale and every Calgary quadrant.

Do you frame door and window openings in Cornerstone?

Yes — we frame rough openings to spec as part of the wall layout.

Do you also do the drywall after framing in Cornerstone?

Yes — we can frame and drywall as one job with one point of responsibility, or frame only and hand off to your own drywall crew.

Can you coordinate with my electrician and plumber?

Yes — we sequence the framing so your other trades can rough in cleanly before insulation and drywall go on.

Do you stand behind your framing work in Cornerstone?

Yes. We check every Cornerstone layout is square before we hand it off, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Should we upgrade our builder-grade Cornerstone walls to Level 5?

If you use strong or angled lighting, yes — Level 5 keeps walls flawless under light. For standard finishes a well-done Level 4 is plenty; we'll advise based on your space.

Metal Stud Framing Cornerstone Calgary

Our Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone once the frame is up.

Framing for basements and openings in Cornerstone

Basement development layouts

A basement development layout is the most common metal stud job we do in Cornerstone — 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.
