A new private business office build with tall ceilings, extensive window returns, fire-rated assemblies, tile backer board, control joints, and a Level 5 finish throughout.

Our general contractor brought us in on a new ground-up private office build in Becker, Minnesota — 6,000 square feet of office space designed for a single business tenant. The project ran across January and February 2026.
What set this one apart was the detail work. Tall ceilings meant the drywall scope went up before it went across. The building had a lot of windows, and every one of them needed clean sheetrock returns to wrap the openings tight to the frames. Control joints had to be planned in throughout to manage long-term wall movement at that scale. And the wet zones called for tile backer board to be hung correctly so the tile work that came after us would sit flat and stay sealed. None of these are exotic on their own, but the combination kept the crew careful and methodical from start to finish.
Our scope on this office buildout covered fire taping at rated assemblies, drywall hang throughout, taping and finishing, a Level 5 skim coat, sanding, control joint installation, sheetrock window returns at every opening, and tile backer board installation in the wet zones. The tall-ceiling work and the volume of window returns drove much of the schedule — both are scope items where the crew has to slow down and get it right rather than push through.
