Pontiac Ceiling & Partition

What Pontiac Ceiling & Partition does

Pontiac Ceiling & Partition Co., LLC (PCP), founded in 1979 and headquartered at 715 Auburn Ave., Pontiac, Michigan, is a commercial construction specialty trade contractor focused on interior and exterior finishes. The company is a subsidiary of National Construction Enterprises, Inc. (NCE) — a diversified construction group established more than 50 years ago that ranks as the 6th largest drywall company in the nation and #5 nationally among Wall and Ceiling Contractors per Engineering News-Record (ENR) 2025. PCP maintains a workforce of 300-400 skilled union tradespeople (Carpenters, Tapers, Laborers, Plasterers) and operates from offices in Pontiac and Ann Arbor, serving the Southeastern Michigan market.

PCP's service portfolio spans light gauge metal framing, gypsum drywall systems, acoustical ceilings and wall panels, plaster and EIFS, spray-applied fireproofing, firestopping, doors/frames/hardware, custom millwork, demountable and operable partitions, unitized curtainwall systems, rainscreen systems, and design-assist services supported by BIM. The company has built differentiated credentials in healthcare construction (UBC ICRA, ICRA Best Practices), exterior envelope work (AWCI EIFSmart), and life-safety systems (UL Qualified Firestop Contractor). Approximately 100% of projects are delivered under a design-assist model that engages PCP during pre-construction to balance aesthetic, cost, and technical goals.

PCP generates project-based revenue through competitive bidding and negotiated contracts with general contractors, developers, and owners. Pricing is quote-based per project scope, and the company bundles multiple interior and exterior finish trades under single contracts to serve as a one-stop trade partner. Its customer base spans Healthcare, Hospitality & Entertainment, Educational, Government, Retail, Business, and Church Buildings verticals, with marquee projects including the DTMB New Psychiatric Hospital Complex (264-bed, 400,000 sq ft), the University of Michigan 5th Student Housing interiors package, Oakland Hills Country Club, Basco Broadway Lofts, the Theodore Levin U.S. Courthouse, and the Detroit Medical Center Heart Hospital. PCP leverages NCE's financial strength and large bonding capacity to underwrite projects of any size, a structural advantage that competitors without comparable parent backing cannot easily replicate.
