Questions about basement drywall.

Do you provide drywall for an Oshawa basement apartment or accessory apartment?

We can scope boarding and finishing for a permitted accessory-apartment project when the owner provides the current plans, permit and inspection direction, and accepted assembly requirements. Our drywall scope does not approve, register or authorize occupancy of the unit.

Is an accessory apartment the same as an additional dwelling unit (ADU)?

Accessory apartment is the City of Oshawa term used on this page. Homeowners may also hear additional dwelling unit (ADU), secondary suite or basement apartment. The municipality and qualified project professionals determine the correct classification, design and requirements for a specific property.

Can Oshawa Drywall design or approve the basement fire and sound assemblies?

No. The owner and qualified project professionals remain responsible for design, documents, approvals and inspection decisions. We can price and install an accepted written drywall scope, but a board product by itself does not establish the complete assembly or its performance.
