Gypsum & Ceiling Works

Architectural gypsum boards, feature ceilings and cornice works.

Scope

Architectural gypsum boards, bulkheads, cove lighting details, feature ceilings and partitions designed for visual impact and structural integrity — with shadow gaps and recessed details executed precisely.

Gypsum ceilings and partitions set the geometry of a space. They also hide the services above them, so they are built after a services coordination pass and to an approved ceiling drawing.

What the work covers

False ceilings

Flat, stepped and multi-level ceiling systems with clean reveal edges.

Cove and feature lighting

Cove details, recessed linear profiles and shadow gaps drawn to suit the light fitting.

Partitions

Single and double-skin gypsum partitions, including acoustic and fire-rated assemblies where specified.

Bulkheads and drops

Bulkheads that house AC units, curtain tracks and structural beams.

Access and inspection

Access panels and service points positioned with the MEP consultant.

Specifications & materials

  • Metal stud and track framing at manufacturer-recommended centres; no timber where a metal system is specified
  • Double-skin boarding and insulation where acoustic or fire performance is required
  • Control joints at the correct intervals to manage movement and cracking
  • Corners, reveals and shadow gaps reinforced and aligned across the ceiling plane
  • Services coordinated and inspected before the ceiling is closed

Project types

Villas and apartments Offices and commercial ceilings Retail and F&B Hotels and hospitality Clinics and consulting rooms Renovation and refurbishment

Quality control

  • Approved shop drawings and material submittals before any production starts
  • Factory-finished components inspected against the approved sample
  • Setting-out and level checks recorded on site before installation
  • Snag list closed out and handed over with the project documentation

Frequently asked questions

How long before a gypsum ceiling can be painted?

Boarding, jointing and any skim coat must be fully dry, and joints filled and sanded, before priming and painting. Rushing the drying stage is the most common cause of blisters and visible joint lines.

Can gypsum partitions be acoustic or fire-rated?

Yes. With the right stud system, board thickness and insulation, partitions can achieve defined acoustic and fire ratings. The required performance is taken from the specification and the assembly is built to match it.

Will a false ceiling reduce my room height?

A flat ceiling with a recessed light needs roughly 100–150 mm of depth. Bulkheads and AC drops need more. Ceiling levels are set at drawing stage so light fittings and services can be accommodated without unnecessary loss of height.

Every component is engineered, manufactured and installed with precision.
