Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Specialized interior construction worker who assembles the ceiling substructure framework of buildings using lightweight steel frames, runners, and hanging fixtures.
Description
Ceiling substructure workers read architectural drawings and assemble the ceiling substructure framework of buildings using materials such as lightweight steel frames (LGS), runners, channels, and hanger bolts. They use laser levels or spirit levels to check heights, ensuring precise levels and slopes through cutting, installing materials, and fine-tuning suspension heights. They perform work at heights or in narrow indoor spaces using scaffolding or aerial work platforms, requiring physical strength and attention. After substructure assembly, they prepare for plasterboard installation and collaborate with construction supervisors and other interior workers to proceed with work safely and efficiently.
Future Outlook
Demand for interior finishing work remains stable with new construction and renovation markets. Efficiency of lightweight ceiling work advances with reduced construction and dry methods, maintaining high ongoing need for specialized skilled workers.
