Institutional Case Study: Alexander College Interior Renovation in Vancouver, BC
An interior renovation for a private college in downtown Vancouver: steel stud framing through Level 4 finish, delivered for a tier-one general contractor on a working institutional site.
An Institutional Tenant Improvement in Downtown Vancouver
Alexander College needed a full interior renovation of its downtown Vancouver campus space, delivered for a tier-one general contractor on a working institutional site. The scope called for new partition layouts, durable wall assemblies suited to high-traffic classroom and office use, and a clean Level 4 finish ready for paint throughout.
"An institutional environment with tight coordination, an active campus, and zero room for schedule slippage."
Pristine Drywall was awarded the drywall package on competitive pricing and the ability to deliver the full interior scope under a single subcontract: steel stud framing, insulation, boarding, taping, and finishing. Working in an institutional environment meant tight coordination with other trades and the building's schedule, which our crew managed from layout through final finish.
The Full Interior Drywall Package
One subcontract covered framing through finish. One point of contact for the general contractor. A consistent Level 4 finish across every wall and bulkhead.
- Steel stud framing for interior partitions and bulkheads
- Soundproof insulation in partition assemblies
- Soundproof drywall boarding throughout
- Taping and mudding on all assemblies
- Level 4 finish, ready for paint
