What we do

The service

A suspended ceiling is the most visible finish in a commercial space and the one an owner notices first on a walk-through. If the field is off-centre, the grid dips, or the tile cuts around the diffusers are ragged, no amount of good work below it will make up the difference.

We set out from the reflected ceiling plan and centre the field so the room does not end up with a sliver tile against a feature wall. Layout gets confirmed with your superintendent before any wire goes up. Grid is laser-set and checked as we go, then tile is cut in tight around lights, diffusers, sprinklers and speakers.

Labour only: you supply the grid system, hanger wire and acoustic tile to your specified product. We bring the crew, the lasers and the tools, and we schedule the final tile drop after the other trades are clear so your finished ceiling stays finished.

Why general contractors hire us

What you actually get

Layout

The grid lines up with the room

We set out from the reflected ceiling plan and centre the field, so you do not end up with a sliver tile in the most visible corner. Layout is confirmed before wire goes up.

Level

Dead level across the whole field

Laser-set and checked as the grid goes in. A ceiling that dips is the first thing an owner spots and the last thing you want to rehang.

Coordination

Cuts that fit the mechanical

Lights, diffusers, sprinklers and speakers all have to land in the tile. We coordinate with the trades above the grid so the penetrations are clean rather than fudged.

Sequencing

We come back for the tile drop

Grid goes in early so other trades can work above it, and tile goes in late once they are clear. Your finished ceiling stays finished.

Cost control

No material markup in our number

You buy the grid, wire and tile at your rate. Our price is the installation labour, nothing more.
