A partition wall is the quickest way to change how a space works. An open office becomes meeting rooms and a store; a large bedroom becomes two; a living room gains a study corner or hidden storage. A false ceiling tidies away cabling, ducting and pipes, gives you somewhere to put the lighting, and finishes a room properly.

BD Contractors builds both, for homes and commercial units across Singapore, as a direct contractor with in-house crews. Because our own electricians, plasterers and painters work alongside the partition team, the sockets, switches and lights you need go in as the wall or ceiling is built, and the whole thing is skimmed and painted before we hand it back.

Partitions are also easy to take down again. If you're a tenant, that matters: a drywall or glass partition can be removed at the end of the lease without damaging the original structure, which keeps reinstatement simple.

Partitions

Partition wall options

Most jobs use one or two of these. We'll recommend the right build for the room, the finish you want, and whether the wall might come down again later.

Drywall partitions

Gypsum board on a metal stud frame, skimmed and painted. The standard build for new rooms, offices and storage areas, and the quickest to install.

Glass partitions

Framed or frameless glass for meeting rooms and office fronts, keeping daylight moving through the space.

Partitions for rented units

Built with removal in mind, so they come out cleanly at the end of the lease without damaging the original floor, ceiling or walls.

Feature walls

Partitions built as a design element: recesses, niches, TV walls and textured or painted finishes.

Half-height and storage walls

Low dividers, half walls and partitions with storage built in, for open-plan spaces that need zoning without full enclosure.

Repairs to existing partitions

Re-plastering, patching and repainting partitions that have been damaged or altered.

Ceilings

False ceiling options

A false ceiling hides what's above it and gives the lighting somewhere to live. These are the builds we do most.

Plasterboard ceilings

A flush plasterboard ceiling under the slab that conceals cabling, ducting and pipes and takes downlights and spotlights cleanly.

L-box and cove ceilings

A perimeter drop with a concealed channel for LED strip lighting, giving indirect light and a finished edge to the room.

Suspended grid ceilings

Drop-in tile ceilings for offices and commercial units, with easy access to services above.

Bulkheads and boxing

Boxing in beams, air-con trunking, pipes and ducts so they disappear into the design.

Design ceilings

Stepped, recessed or feature ceilings where the ceiling itself is part of the look.

Lighting and electrical

Track lights, spotlights, downlights and switches installed as the ceiling goes in, with the wiring run above it.

Planning

Getting the layout right before we build

Partitions are hard to move once the boards are on, so the site visit is where the job is really decided. We walk the space with you, mark out where each wall goes, check how it lines up with windows, air-con and existing lighting, and work out what electrical needs to run through it.

For tenanted units we also think about the end of the lease. A partition built with removal in mind comes out cleanly without damaging the floor, ceiling or original walls, which keeps your reinstatement bill down later. If you're fitting out a rented office or shop, tell us and we'll build accordingly.

Why BD

Why use BD for partitions and ceilings

A partition job touches four trades: framing, electrical, plastering and painting. Having all of them in one crew is what makes ours quick and tidy.

Four trades, one crew

Framing, electrical, plastering and painting by our own people. No waiting on a separate electrician or painter.
Lighting and sockets built in

Track lights, spotlights, switches and power points go in as the wall or ceiling is built, not cut in afterwards.
Finished, not just framed

Every wall and ceiling is skimmed and painted by our own crew, so you get a finished room rather than bare board.

FAQs

Questions about partition walls & false ceilings

What are partition walls made of?

Most are drywall: gypsum board fixed to a metal stud frame, then skimmed and painted so they look like any other wall. Glass partitions use framed or frameless panels where you want light to pass through.

How long does a partition wall take to install?

A single drywall partition is a quick job. A full office layout with glass fronts and electrical takes longer, and painting needs drying time between coats. We give you a schedule after the site visit.

Can you add power points, switches and lights?

Yes, and it's best done as part of the same job. Our electricians run the wiring inside the wall or above the ceiling while it's open, so sockets, switches, track lights and spotlights are in place before the plastering and painting.

What is an L-box ceiling?

An L-box is a false ceiling that drops along the edges of the room, leaving the centre at full height. The drop hides a channel for LED strip lighting, which gives soft indirect light and a clean finished edge. A cove ceiling works on the same idea with a curved profile.

Will the partition need to come down at the end of my lease?

Usually, if your tenancy agreement has a reinstatement clause. Drywall and glass partitions come out without damaging the original structure, so it's a straightforward job. We also handle reinstatement, so the same team can remove what it built.

Do you do the plastering and painting too?

Yes. Every partition and ceiling we build is skimmed and painted by our own crew, so you get a finished wall rather than a bare board and a separate painter to find.

Do you work on homes as well as offices?

Both. HDB, condo and landed homes for extra rooms, study corners, feature walls and ceilings, and offices, retail and F&B units for meeting rooms, back-of-house partitions and suspended ceilings.
