📞 604-761-1518 ✉ Quote RequestSteelStud.ca delivers complete tenant improvement framing and drywall packages across Richmond. 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 Richmond 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 Richmond TI projects the way a GC thinks, not just the way a trades contractor thinks.
Colin spent 15 years on the GC side managing restaurant, retail, airport-adjacent commercial, office 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 Richmond TI site, he's thinking about your whole project schedule, not just the framing scope.
Our TI packages are designed to give GCs a single-source scope for the framing and drywall envelope — one estimate, one crew, one point of contact. Here's what's included:
Tenant improvement projects in Richmond require a building permit for any work involving structural elements, fire separations, change of occupancy, or modification of means of egress. Our framing and drywall scope is documented to permit standards — ULC assembly references, structural specifications, and fastener schedules are all included in our package for your permit application.
