Scope
The trade scope behind every build-out
Framing and ceilings set the geometry every other trade works to. We run this scope as part of our own build-outs and take it on directly for other general contractors and developers who need the package priced and delivered on its own.

- Commercial interiors, TI, multi-family
- Typical scope
- Framing, drywall, and ceiling package
- Available as
- Part of a build-out, or a standalone scope
- Service area
- Chicago & suburbs

- Wood framing and structural partitions
- Drywall hanging, taping, and finishing to specified levels
- Fire-rated and sound-rated assemblies
- Suspended acoustical ceiling grid and tile
- Drywall ceilings, soffits, bulkheads, and reveals
- Ceiling coordination with mechanical, lighting, and sprinkler layouts

- Patch and repair of existing framing and ceilings at scale
How the work runs
Laid out once, coordinated before it goes up
Full coordination of construction projects, including scheduling, subcontractor management, and execution.
-
Layout from the drawings
Partition layout is set from the drawings and confirmed on the deck before any track goes down, so later trades are not chasing a wall that moved.
-
Rated assemblies identified
Fire-rated and sound-rated assemblies are identified in advance and built to the listed detail, which is what the inspection will be measured against.
-
Ceiling coordination
Grid layout is coordinated against lighting, diffuser, and sprinkler positions before the grid is hung rather than cut in afterwards.
-
Finish level to spec
Drywall is finished to the level the specification calls for, so the finish trade is not correcting the substrate.
Project plates
[NEEDS SERGEI] Framing and ceiling photography needed — an in-progress framing shot, a ceiling grid shot, and a completed interior. In-progress photos are genuinely persuasive to other GCs and developers, so they are worth capturing on the next job.
Common questions
Before you request an estimate
Can we hire you for framing and ceilings only?
Yes. The framing, drywall, and acoustical ceiling package can be priced and delivered as a standalone scope for another general contractor or developer.
Do you build fire-rated and sound-rated assemblies?
Yes. Rated assemblies are identified from the drawings up front and built to the listed detail so they pass inspection as designed.
Do you coordinate the ceiling with lighting and sprinklers?
Yes. Grid layout is coordinated against lighting, diffuser, and sprinkler positions before the grid is hung.
