Basement development in Calgary

Built to commercial standards

Quality Gypsum frames and finishes commercial buildings across Calgary.

Now the same crews and the same straight walls go into your basement.

Legal suites or living space, built once and built right.

No obligation. On-site measure. Fixed written quote.

CrewsOur employees, not subs

FinishTaped and sanded to level

Two ways to use the space

Rent it out or live in it

Tell us which one you're after and we scope it that way from the first visit. Most basements go one of these two directions.

Rental income

Legal secondary suite

A basement that pays you back. Built to the City of Calgary suite requirements so it passes inspection and rents legally.

  • Separate entrance and egress windows
  • Fire separation between suite and main floor
  • Sound and code-compliant framing
  • Permit-ready scope, coordinated with trades
  • Kitchen, bath and bedroom rough-in coordination
  • More living space

    Finished basement

    Rec room, bedrooms, bathroom, home gym or office. Finished to live in, not just closed up and forgotten.

  • Rec room, media room or open family space
  • Extra bedrooms with proper egress
  • Full or half bathroom
  • Home office, gym or wet bar
  • Level 4 or 5 drywall finish, paint-ready
  • Why a commercial company

    Basement guys frame walls. We frame buildings.

    Most basement outfits are one truck and whoever they found that week. QGS runs commercial drywall and steel stud crews full time. That difference shows up on your walls.

    Straight framing

    Steel stud framed to commercial tolerance. Straight walls, square corners, plumb everywhere. No waves you'll see once the light hits.

    Real crews

    Our own employees on site, WCB covered and supervised. Not a rotating cast of subs pulled off a marketplace listing.

    Finished right

    Taping and sanding is our day job. You get a level 4 or 5 finish that takes paint clean, not a patch job you have to redo.

    No callbacks

    Built to code the first time, so it passes inspection and stays quiet. We're a real Calgary company you can call back if you ever need to.

    How it works

    Four steps, no surprises
