Konstruction Group specializes in metal stud framing for multiplex residential buildings throughout Toronto. We supply and install - providing materials and labor as a complete turnkey package at the lowest market rates. We perform our own CFS takeoffs in-house, eliminating middlemen and passing the savings to you. Most modern duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes are built with heavy gauge load-bearing steel stud exterior walls, and we handle all aspects - from structural exterior framing to interior partitions and fire-rated party walls. We also provide insulation and drywall services for a complete interior package.


Heavy gauge steel stud framing has become the standard for multiplex construction in Toronto. Steel studs are non-combustible, helping achieve required fire separations between units. They're dimensionally stable - no warping, shrinking, or twisting over time. Load-bearing steel studs in 16, 14, or 12 gauge can support multiple storeys while keeping wall thickness manageable. For builders constructing duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, metal framing delivers the structural performance and fire ratings these buildings require.
Fire-rated party walls between dwelling units are required by Ontario Building Code. These demising walls must achieve specific fire resistance ratings - typically 1-hour or 2-hour depending on building type. We frame party walls with the correct stud gauge, spacing, and assembly details to support fire-rated drywall and insulation. For enhanced fire protection, consider our spray-applied fireproofing. Proper party wall framing is critical for both fire safety and sound isolation between units.
We provide complete supply and install packages for metal stud framing - you don't need to source materials separately. Our in-house estimators perform CFS takeoffs directly from your drawings, so there's no third-party markup on quantities. We buy materials at contractor pricing and pass those savings through to you. The result: competitive pricing that's hard to beat while maintaining quality materials and expert installation.
Our team does our own cold-formed steel takeoffs - we don't outsource estimation. This means faster turnaround on quotes, accurate material quantities based on years of field experience, and no wasted costs from over-ordering. When you request a quote, you're getting numbers from people who actually install metal framing and understand real-world requirements.
We take on multiplex metal framing projects regardless of complexity. Two-storey duplexes, three-storey triplexes, four-storey stacked units - our crews have the experience to handle it. Complex floor plans, multiple unit configurations, and challenging architectural details are all within our capability. We work from your structural drawings and coordinate with your project team to deliver framing that meets specifications.

We review structural and architectural drawings to understand framing scope, gauge requirements, and fire rating specifications.

Typical timeline: 1-3 weeksMetal framing offers several advantages for multiplex construction. Steel studs are non-combustible, making it easier to achieve required fire separations between units. They're dimensionally stable and won't warp or twist. Heavy gauge steel can handle multi-storey loads while keeping walls thinner than equivalent wood framing. Many Toronto builders now specify metal framing for multiplexes as the standard approach.
Load-bearing exterior walls typically use 16, 14, or 12 gauge steel studs depending on building height, loads, and engineering requirements. Heavier gauges (lower numbers) support greater loads. Interior non-load bearing partitions use lighter 25 or 20 gauge studs. Your structural engineer specifies the required gauge for each application.
Metal framing for multiplexes typically costs $15-$20 per square foot for labor depending on building size, floor count, and complexity. A 3,000 sq ft triplex might run $45,000-$60,000 for metal framing labor. Add insulation and drywall for the full interior package. We provide detailed quotes from your structural drawings.
Party walls between dwelling units in multiplexes typically require 1-hour fire resistance rating minimum under Ontario Building Code. Some configurations require 2-hour ratings. The fire rating comes from the complete assembly - stud gauge, insulation type, and drywall layers. We frame party walls to support the specified fire-rated assembly.
Yes, we handle multiplex metal framing regardless of size or floor count - from two-storey duplexes to four-storey stacked units. Complex designs, multiple unit configurations, and challenging details are all within our capability. If you have structural drawings and permits, we can frame it.
Our specialty is supply and install - complete turnkey packages at the lowest market rates. We do our own CFS takeoffs in-house, buy materials at contractor pricing, and eliminate middleman markups. This gives you competitive pricing with single-source accountability. Labor-only arrangements are available if you're supplying materials, but most builders prefer our complete package for the cost savings and simplified coordination.
