Oshawa's diverse commercial buildings need fire walls built to current OBC standards.
Oshawa is Durham Region’s largest city and its economic anchor — a community with deep industrial and manufacturing roots, a major hospital in Lakeridge Health Oshawa, a large post-secondary campus at Ontario Tech University, a busy downtown commercial and hospitality district and a rapidly diversifying employment base that includes logistics, professional services and retail. This breadth of commercial and institutional activity brings a corresponding breadth of Ontario Building Code fire separation requirements — each occupancy type carries its own rated assembly standards, and with Oshawa’s building stock spanning decades of construction, renovation projects regularly require fire separation upgrades to bring older assemblies up to current OBC requirements.
We deliver commercial fire-resistant drywall installation in Oshawa across the full range of the city’s commercial and institutional building types. Our assessment process is thorough — we review the building on site, confirm the occupancy type and fire separation requirements and install rated assemblies that are built to OBC standard, correctly detailed and pass inspection the first time. Whether it’s a new industrial build, a hospital renovation or a downtown tenant fit-out, our crew works clean and delivers on schedule.
Express Drywall Services has served commercial clients across Oshawa and Durham Region for over 20 years. Our fire-rated work is code-compliant, backed by a 1-year warranty and delivered by our own experienced crew with transparent pricing and free on-site estimates within 48 hours.

Oshawa built. Inspection-ready.
Oshawa’s commercial and institutional buildings span a wider range of occupancy types than most Durham Region communities — and each carries its own OBC fire separation requirements. Lakeridge Health and associated medical facilities carry among the most demanding fire code standards of any commercial occupancy. Ontario Tech’s campus buildings require fire separation between occupancy types and in stairwell and corridor enclosures.
Industrial and manufacturing facilities require rated separation between different occupancy groups within the same building. Downtown retail and restaurant buildings require fire barriers between tenancies. Office and mixed-use developments require rated assemblies between floors and along corridor assemblies in multi-tenant configurations. Commercial fire-resistant drywall installation in Oshawa is the non-negotiable code requirement at the foundation of every compliant commercial or institutional project in the city.
