Fire-stopping is a life-saving construction technique where we seal openings and joints in walls, floors, and ceilings to stop the spread of fire, smoke, and toxic gases.

Examples where it’s required:

• Around pipes, ducts, or wires that pass through walls or floors

• Between fire-rated wall assemblies in multi-family or commercial units

• In legal suites to meet BC Building Code

We Use:

• Intumescent sealants

• Fire-rated drywall and insulation

• Fire-safe caulking and sleeves

✅ Proper fire-stopping can contain fire in a room for 1–2 hours, giving occupants time to escape and protecting property.

🔒 Savkaar ensures every legal suite and commercial job is compliant, keeping you safe and avoiding failed inspections.

A typical full basement renovation takes between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the project’s complexity, size, and municipal permits.

General Timeline:

• 1–2 weeks: Design, demolition, permits, and layout preparation

• 2–3 weeks: Framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC rough-ins

• 1–2 weeks: Insulation, drywall installation, taping & sanding

• 1–2 weeks: Flooring, paint, bathroom/kitchen installs, final touches

Factors That Affect Duration:

• Permit processing time (varies by city)

• Custom work (built-ins, custom ceilings, high-end finishes)
