Keep metal framing and drywall on the same layout

Walls, openings, dimensions, and board requirements all have to meet the project layout. When framing and drywall are treated as separate tasks, a missed opening or handoff detail can slow the next stage of a renovation or build-out.

Solis builds interior metal-stud and drywall assemblies to the specified layout, carrying openings and finish handoff through the work. That keeps framing and board connected to the project documents and the sequence shared with other trades.

  • Metal framing and board follow the specified layout.
  • Openings and finish handoff carried through the work.

Half of Centralia's homes were built before 1977 and half after. New walls in an existing home are finished to meet what is already there, so the home's age shapes the finish plan. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024, median year structure built

Read the wall type and framing details

Partition tags, elevations and schedules give each wall's height, length, openings and finish. The drawings should name stud gauge, spacing, attachment and deflection details, and if a sheet leaves one out we ask before counting it. Door schedules, ceiling plans and elevations sometimes disagree, so revision conflicts get settled before quantities.

Coordinate openings before board installation

Door frames, backing for cabinets and fixtures, and service openings get located while the studs are still open. Head-of-wall connections and control joints follow the wall type. We sort out who supplies each support so nothing has to be cut back open later.

Follow performance details when specified

The National Register nomination for the Centralia Downtown Historic District describes brick commercial buildings with a period of significance from 1888 to 1953. A new partition inside one of them meets masonry walls and old floors that may not be flat or plumb, and its head and base details have to account for that. If the partition is part of a fire or sound assembly, the framing and board follow that approved design, because metal studs alone don't make a rating.

Wall tags, framing plans, elevations, heights, openings and assembly notes, with the phasing and finish schedule, are what we price from.

Metal Stud Framing and Drywall questions in Centralia

Can the drywall contractor choose the stud system?

The approved drawings and the design professional set it. We point out a missing gauge or spacing before we price.

Does metal framing by itself create a fire rating?

No. A rating belongs to the approved assembly, built with every listed component in place.
