01
Wood Framing
Wall, floor, and roof framing — site-built or panelized — including sheathing, blocking, backing, and related framing components.
Capabilities
Framing & panelized systems
Wood, cold-formed steel, and mass timber, site-built or panelized. Our focus is clear scope, practical planning, and direct owner involvement. We understand the coordination and communication general contractors need from a framing partner.
Core services
What we build
A complete framing package in wood, cold-formed steel, or mass timber — site-built or panelized — or the portions a general contractor needs covered.
02
Cold-Formed Steel Framing
Steel stud walls and partitions coordinated with project plans, layout requirements, and adjacent trade scopes.
03
Mass Timber
CLT, NLT, and glulam installation — panels, beams, columns, and connections set to the structural drawings and coordinated with the crane sequence.
04
Panelized Systems
Prefabricated wall, floor, and roof panels in wood, cold-formed steel, or mass timber — set, connected, and tied into site-built framing.
05
Walls, floors & roofs
Bearing and non-bearing walls, headers and beams, floor joists and subfloor sheathing, truss setting and bracing, and roof sheathing.
06
Shear walls & hardware
Sheathing to the nailing schedule, hold-downs, straps, ties, and hangers installed to the structural drawings.
07
Podium construction
Framing scopes above concrete podiums — transition details, deck layout, and stacking sequence level by level.
08
Renovations & rehabilitation
Framing modifications for renovations and building improvements.
09

Preconstruction
Numbers measured, not guessed
Most framing bids get built on square-foot factors. Ours get built on plan-measured quantities: linear feet of wall by height and stud spacing, joist and truss counts, sheets of sheathing by wall type, and hardware counted straight off the schedules.
The result is a bid that survives contact with the job — and a buyout list your supplier can price line by line.
- Quantity takeoffs from structural and architectural sets
- Lumber, EWP, sheathing, steel stud, and hardware quantities
- Labor hours by assembly, not lump sum
- Budget checks against your GMP or hard bid target
- Savings found in scope and sequence, never by sacrificing quality

- Safety before budget or schedule
- Trade coordination
- Clear communication with the GC
- Clean as we go, every day
- Material staged out of walkways
