Commercial plaster programmes cover office fit-outs, retail tenancies, education refurbishments and mixed-use podiums across Clayton, Box Hill, Mount Waverley and wider eastern Melbourne. Calendar pressure, after-hours access rules, fire-rated corridor walls and Level 5 customer zones distinguish commercial scope from residential new build work even when board types appear similar.
Office fit-outs require partition alignment to services coordination, acoustic batts where STC partitions are specified, and ceiling planes suitable for LED grid layouts without visible screw lines under operating lights. Retail tenancies add feature bulkheads, raking customer lighting demanding full skim in sales areas, and fire separation to adjacent tenancies with documented joint treatment for occupancy certificates.
Canperty stages commercial work — ceilings and partitions first, patch and sand after mechanical and electrical trim-out, touch-up before painter mobilisation. Certifier hold points for fire-rated construction are scheduled with builders; joints are not concealed before inspection without written approval. Programme slippage from other trades is flagged early so tenancy handover dates adjust realistically.
Typical Scope
Commercial quotes identify tenancy zones by finish level, FRL partitions by specification reference, access hours, waste removal paths, and whether builder supplies board or Canperty procures to programme. Make-good and lease exit repairs are scoped against condition reports where provided.
Landlord schedules and tenant fit-out guides sometimes conflict on FRL and acoustic requirements — we request the governing document before hang. Base building defects affecting lining plumbness are referred to builder remedial scope before plaster proceeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes commercial from residential pricing?
Programme calendars, after-hours access, FRL hold points, lift logistics and Level 5 customer zones under raking LED drive structure — not simply larger areas.
Are make-good and lease exit repairs quoted?
Yes, against exit condition reports where provided. Fair wear is distinguished from impact damage before strip-out scope is priced.
Who governs when FRL joints can be concealed?
The fire engineer and building surveyor set hold-point requirements. We do not fully conceal rated joints before written approval.
