OUR SERVICES

The needs of our clients have evolved over the years and we have evolved with them to offer more services now than ever before.

Ask us about packaging multiple scopes.

PRECONSTRUCTION SERVICES

Our staff of construction professionals is available to work with you on several aspects during the development of your project. We are able to add value to the project by identifying your needs and addressing them in several disciplines. We can add value to the project before ground breaking commences.

Our preconstruction services include:

Cost estimates provided early in the project can correlate the current market conditions with the design development to ensure the project is being designed within budget.

There are many different methods of engineering value into a project. Value can be gained by substituting products to reduce cost while maintaining functionality, modifying scope to eliminate unnecessary features or selecting systems that decrease the life cycle cost of the project. We can help to identify and quantify any of these options.

Time is money. Having a project that is properly sequenced reduces coordination issues between the construction trades and helps in delivering the project on schedule. We can provide schedule input for arranging individual tasks and assigning them with feasible durations.

Northwest Partitions has been building green long before anyone knew what building green was. Our construction professionals can evaluate the project’s LEED® requirements and make calculations toward earning credits for construction waste landfill diversion, local manufacturing distance, product recycled content, indoor air quality control and others. Make a choice that is good for the environment; choose Northwest Partitions.

In many situations there are multiple ways of constructing an assembly while achieving the same outcome. We can identify these options and help select the one that suits the project best.

Necessity is the mother of invention. As the needs of the construction industry have grown, so has the invention of new products to meet these needs. Our construction professionals are up-to-date on the latest products in the wall and ceiling industry. Let us help you make an informed decision on what products best suit the project.

COLD FORMED METAL FRAMING

Exterior metal framing is the perfect choice for a wide variety of building systems. The members are cold formed from sheet steel to achieve stringent tolerances, ensuring the level of quality you demand. Unlike wood framing, metal framing is non-combustible and will not rot or warp. Best of all, the face of the wall will be straight and true whether it is 8 feet tall or 48 feet tall. The variety of sizes and thicknesses of the framing members provides a level of versatility that is unmatched by other framing systems.

Our union trained framers are crucial to a successful exterior framing system. They are skilled in the latest practices of both load-bearing and non-load-bearing exterior metal framing. In the absence of minor architectural framing details, you can rest assured that our technicians will use code compliant connections that meet or exceed the industry standard.

LIGHT GAUGE METAL FRAMING

Interior metal framing systems bring a myriad of premium attributes to your project. Design flexibility is gained through the variety of metal stud members and the ability to construct curved elements with relative ease. Metal framing systems are non-combustible, manufactured to strict tolerances, readily available and pre-punched for mechanical and electrical systems. Thanks to metal framing’s high strength-to-weight ratio, if you can dream it … we can build it.

With metal framing, there is no need to issue separate contracts for framing and drywall; we do them both. Our long-term relationships with local manufacturers and suppliers allow us to purchase material at the lowest possible price so we can pass the savings on to our clients. These relationships have also given us a preferred customer status to access material during supply shortages. In addition to our supplier access, we stock a significant amount of metal framing members in all sizes and lengths at our Woodinville, Washington facility.

Because we are a company that serves the Northwest, we feel a sense of responsibility to support other Northwest businesses. Most of the metal framing components we purchase are manufactured locally. This not only adds to the enrichment of the community, it adds to the project’s environmental responsibility as well. All of the metal framing members we use on a project contain recycled steel and are 100% recyclable.

GYPSUM WALLBOARD & SHEATHING

Despite the variety of services Northwest Partitions provides, the construction community refers to us as a “Drywall Contractor.” Drywall, or gypsum wallboard, comprises a significant amount of the work we perform. The gypsum wallboard installed by our carpenters today is a far cry from that of yesteryear. Today’s high performance wallboards can incorporate anti-microbial cores, mold resistant face papers, fiberglass reinforced mesh and ceramic-polymer-gypsum to make our buildings safer, stronger, quieter and healthier. Whether your project requires traditional paper faced gypsum or a high performance gypsum panel, our carpenters have you covered.

 

Exterior gypsum products are almost as varied as their interior counterparts. Our crews install traditional paper-faced, glass mat faced and fiber reinforced gypsum sheathing. Our construction professionals are educated in all of the latest products and can help the design team select the right material for the project’s application.

Proper finishing of the panel is crucial to its appearance and performance. Our tapers finish millions of square feet of drywall each year and are known for their high quality finishes. Our goal is to provide the finishes you demand that will serve the project for years to come.

ACOUSTICAL CEILINGS & PANELS

Let us enhance your project with premium acoustical solutions! Acoustical ceilings, acoustic baffles, and acoustic wall panels are designed to transform your environment into a haven of tranquility and productivity. With innovative sound-absorbing technology, properly specified and masterfully installed products effectively reduce noise and echo, creating a more comfortable and focused atmosphere for employees, customers, clients, students, and patients alike. Acoustical solutions offer both aesthetic appeal and exceptional acoustic performance. Elevate your project with our stylish and functional acoustic solutions to ensure a quieter, more inviting, and productive space.

PAINT & WALLCOVERING

We provide professional commercial interior and exterior painting and coating and wallcovering scopes on stand alone paint/wallcovering contracts, as wells as, packaging these services with our framing/GWB services for clients that desire one contract and complete systems.

VALUE ADDED SERVICES

Northwest Partitions is your one-stop-shop for a wide variety of specialty systems. Construction coordination and trade sequencing is made more efficient by having fewer contracts on a project. For that reason, Northwest Partitions partners with pre-qualified subcontractors to expand its services to include the following interrelated scopes of work:

  • Thermal and acoustical insulation
  • Firestopping
  • Plaster
  • Fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) panels
  • Glass fiber reinforced gypsum (GFRG) components

Our services have expanded over the years to include:

Our insulation services include rigid insulation and Z-furring, thermal batt insulation, acoustical batt insulation and vapor barrier.

Head-of-wall firestopping can be added at rated assemblies whether the project is a concrete, steel or wood structure.

The charm of plaster increases with age. Our artisans are skilled in exterior three-coat plaster as well as interior veneer plaster, gypsum plaster and ornamental plaster.

Once reserved primarily for commercial kitchens and janitorial closets, FRP paneling has expanded to serve as abrasion resistant wainscoting in addition to restroom wall decoration.

Pre-cast GFRG components are a great choice for intricate architectural detailing ranging from column covers and capitals to barrel vaulted ceilings. They are cast in a controlled environment prior to being sent to the jobsite and are easily replicated to produce multiple identical members.
