Can you sequence around the inspections?

That is how it has to be done. Rated and sound assemblies in Walker are inspected before finish covers them, so we board and firestop to suit your inspection date rather than closing something the inspector needs to see.

Is the full Walker suite — all the drywall — one job for you?

Yes — fire, sound, moisture board, boarding and finishing as one job in your Walker home, coordinated with your other trades.

Can you handle the whole Walker suite drywall as one job?

Yes — fire, sound, moisture board, boarding and finishing as one job in your Walker home, coordinated with your other trades.

Can the entire Walker suite drywall run as a single contract?

Yes — fire, sound, moisture board, boarding and finishing as one job in your Walker home, coordinated with your other trades.

Do you do legal suite drywall in Walker?

Yes — secondary-suite drywall in Walker is part of our regular work, and we book to your project. We also cover Charlesworth, Decoteau, Ellerslie and Ellerslie.

Do you stand behind your legal suite drywall in Walker?

Yes. We build to the suite spec and walk the finished Walker suite with you, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.

Legal suite drywall in Walker, built to the suite spec

A legal suite in Walker lives or dies on two assemblies: the fire separation between the units and the sound separation between them. Both are specified on the drawings your permit was issued against, and both are inspected before anything covers them. We build to those drawings and sequence around the inspection rather than working ahead.

Penetrations: the part that fails inspections

Every hole is a path

Electrical boxes, plumbing, ducting and pot lights all pierce a rated Walker assembly. Unsealed, each one is a route for fire and smoke and a leak for sound.

Sequencing with trades

Firestopping happens before the finish. We coordinate so penetrations are made and sealed before we tape, rather than cutting into a finished rated ceiling later and leaving it open behind the paint.

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 Walker 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.

Our Walker legal suite drywall process in Edmonton, step by step

Fire separation first

In Walker 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. An Walker suite that satisfies the inspector and feels like home — that is the outcome.

Flanking paths around the separation

Sound goes around walls

Even a well-built Walker 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.

Fire, sound and moisture in a Walker suite

Fire and sound separation

A Walker legal suite needs a fire-rated ceiling and sound-dampened separation so it is safe and liveable. Both assemblies are built into the Walker drywall.

Finish and wet zones

Bathrooms get moisture-resistant board; everything finishes flat and paint-ready. Walker readers can dig into Fire-Rated Drywall Edmonton and Soundproofing Edmonton for the assemblies.

Why the ceiling is the biggest part of the job

Where everything meets

The ceiling between an Walker 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.
