Legal suite drywall in Mill Woods Town Centre, built to the suite spec

A legal secondary suite has to meet the City of Edmonton 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 Mill Woods Town Centre we board and finish secondary suites to that spec so they pass. Mill Woods Town Centre is one of Mill Woods and Meadows's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so suite conversions are common here. We cover Mill Woods Town Centre, Bisset, Crawford Plains, Daly Grove and Mill Woods and Meadows, 7 days a week.

Bathrooms and kitchens in the suite

Wet rooms need the right board

A suite bathroom and kitchen need moisture-resistant board and proper detailing behind tile and around the tub or shower.

Ventilation

We also check the fan actually vents outside. In Mill Woods Town Centre conversions it is not unusual to find one ducted into the attic or a joist space, and in a suite that runs every day it becomes a mould problem quickly.

Mill Woods Town Centre drywall in context

What we see in Mill Woods Town Centre

What we hand over at the end

Photographs of what got covered

Assemblies get buried. We photograph the rated and sound work before boarding so there is a record of what is behind the finish.

Why it matters later

When an Mill Woods Town Centre suite is sold, refinanced or re-inspected, being able to show what was built is worth having. It costs us minutes and it has saved clients real arguments.

Why the ceiling is the biggest part of the job

Where everything meets

The ceiling between an Mill Woods Town Centre suite and the unit above carries the fire separation, most of the sound transmission and all the mechanical that runs between floors.

Coordination

Ducting, plumbing and wiring all penetrate it, and each penetration has to be dealt with before the assembly closes. It is the part of a suite build that needs the most sequencing with other trades and the part most often rushed.

The suite entry and the stair enclosure

Often the weak point

The door and stair connecting an Mill Woods Town Centre suite to the rest of the house is frequently where both the fire separation and the sound separation are least complete.

Detailing it

The enclosure has to carry the rating through, and the door is specified. It is also the single biggest sound leak in most suites, because a door is a door.

Flanking paths around the separation

Sound goes around walls

Even a well-built Mill Woods Town Centre separation can be undermined by sound travelling through shared framing, a common duct run, or the stairwell.

What we look for

Shared ductwork between units, continuous framing members, and the door at the top of the suite stairs. Fixing the wall while leaving a shared duct open is money spent on the wrong path.

Sound between units, honestly

What you should expect

A properly built assembly makes normal speech between an Mill Woods Town Centre suite and the unit above unintelligible, and takes the edge off television.

What it will not do

It will not make it silent, and footstep noise from above is the hardest and most expensive to control. Tenants complain about footsteps more than voices, so this is worth spending on and worth being realistic about.
