Tenant Improvement
Contractor in Burnaby

SteelStud.ca delivers complete tenant improvement framing and drywall packages across Burnaby. We serve general contractors, developers, and project owners with a single-source TI scope that covers steel stud framing, drywall hang and tape, finish to specified level, and fire-rated assembly installation — all self-performed by our own crew.

What sets SteelStud.ca apart on Burnaby TI projects is Colin Hamilton's background: 15 years as a licensed general contractor specializing in tenant improvement work before founding SteelStud.ca. Colin has managed full TI scopes as the GC — which means he understands exactly how framing and drywall work affects your schedule, your downstream trades, and your profitability. He estimates Burnaby TI projects the way a GC thinks, not just the way a trades contractor thinks.

⚡ THE GC ADVANTAGE · WHY IT MATTERS ON YOUR Burnaby TI PROJECT

Colin spent 15 years on the GC side managing tech offices, retail TI, medical, high-rise commercial projects across Metro Vancouver. He knows what a framing subcontractor looks like from the owner's chair — the ones who create problems and the ones who make projects run. SteelStud.ca was built to be the latter: accurate estimates, proactive coordination, clean documentation, and work that passes inspection first time. When Colin walks your Burnaby TI site, he's thinking about your whole project schedule, not just the framing scope.
