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.

Set wall locations and openings from the plan
We lay out the walls, corners, door openings and intersections from the current drawings and mark them on the floor. Checking the layout against the existing surfaces first keeps door frames and boxes where the plan puts them. Rated or sound walls keep their assembly details with the layout, and we price partitions by room or wall type.
Coordinate services before the cavity is covered
Boxes, pipes and ducts go in before we board. We confirm which trades still need the open wall and when the inspection happens, then close it with every opening in place. If the layout changes on site, the drawing and scope get updated first.
Carry framing through board and surface finish
After framing and board, we finish joints, fasteners and corners for the texture or paint you've chosen. Some jobs stop at the specified level and others go through primer and paint. Rated and acoustic walls follow their assembly, and framing, board, finishing and coatings each get a line.
A partition plan we can price
Send the plan revision, wall locations, openings, services and the finish you want. Design changes stay with the project team.
