Metal stud framing installed for a commercial tenant buildout in Northwest Arkansas

Commercial Construction

Commercial framing in Northwest Arkansas

Framing determines whether everything after it goes smoothly. Walls out of plumb, headers undersized or layout off by an inch turn into problems that every later trade has to work around.

We frame commercial partitions, rated assemblies, soffits, bulkheads and structural elements in metal stud and wood. Layout is snapped from the plan set and verified, openings are framed for the actual door and window schedule, and blocking is installed for everything that will be hung later.

Because we also hang drywall, we frame the way drywall wants to be hung: which eliminates a whole category of field problems.

Framing process

  1. Layout

    Walls snapped from the plan set and verified against field conditions before anything is set.

  2. Track and stud

    Track fastened to structure, studs set to spacing, with deflection track where the assembly requires it.

  3. Openings and blocking

    Door and window openings framed to schedule; blocking installed for casework, fixtures and equipment.

  4. Inspection

    Framing inspection coordinated and passed before drywall is scheduled.

Questions we get asked

Metal stud or wood, which should we use?

Metal for most commercial partitions: it is straight, non-combustible and required for many rated assemblies. Wood still makes sense for certain structural and light commercial applications.

Do you coordinate with mechanical and electrical?

Yes. Layout and in-wall coordination with MEP trades happens before we close anything up.
