Structural Framing Services
Why Choose Us as Your Calgary Framing Partner
Deep Understanding of Calgary’s Climate & Building Codes
In Calgary, extreme temperature shifts, snow loads, and wind conditions demand precise structural design. Our framers are well versed in the Alberta Building Code, local engineering practices, and Calgary’s municipal permit requirements. By integrating these standards from day one, we reduce risk and ensure your structure’s durability.
Balanced Material Expertise — Wood, Steel & Hybrid
Some projects call for classic wood framing, while others require stronger or lighter steel systems—or a hybrid solution. We assess each job’s needs and environmental loads, then propose the optimal framing method. Whether you want the warmth of wood or the resilience of metal, we can deliver.
Rigorous Quality Controls & Safety Protocols
We maintain a robust quality assurance process: dimension checks, alignment reviews, fastener audits, and site safety inspections. Every crew follows strict safety standards (OSHA / WCB compliance). Our repeat clients trust us because oversight and accountability are built in, not added on.
Transparent Scheduling & Communication
You’ll receive a clear project timeline with key milestones (foundation, wall erecting, roof framing, inspections). Our project manager provides weekly updates, so you know where your build stands and what’s next.
OUR FULL-SERVICE FRAMING COMPANY DELIVERS COMPLETE WOOD AND STEEL FRAMING SOLUTIONS FOR HOMEOWNERS, DEVELOPERS, AND BUILDERS ACROSS CALGARY AND THE SURROUNDING AREA.

Quality Framing Services in Calgary
Calgary Residential Framing
From starter homes to high-end custom estates, our team constructs flawless structural frameworks.
We coordinate with architects, engineers, and other trades to ensure integration of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC penetrations without compromising structural integrity.
​

Developers and builders in Calgary trust us for efficient framing of row houses, duplexes, and low-rise multi-unit projects.

For small commercial projects (offices, retail shells, light industrial), we deliver framing that meets load demands and provides reliable flexibility for future interior changes.
We can manage steel columns, glulam beams, and mixed framing systems when needed.
Our work is more than construction — it’s a lasting investment in strength, beauty, and craftsmanship that endures for decades.
Calgary Framing Costs & Value
While every project is different, framing typically represents 20–30% of the structural contract value. In Calgary, you’ll see variance due to:
​
-
Project size and complexity
-
Choice of material (wood vs. steel vs. hybrid)
-
Height, spans, and opening sizes
-
Access, site constraints, and crane use
-
Finishes, blocking, reinforcement demands
​
We believe in offering value-driven framing, not simply the lowest bid. You’ll see transparent cost components, trade-off options, and long-term durability baked into our pricing.

Our Calgary Process — From Estimate to Completion
Step 1 — Site Visit & Plan Review
We begin with a site walk and structural plan review. We check footing locations, foundation layout, exterior constraints, and access points. This lets us identify special framing conditions (e.g. tall wall loads, window openings) early.
Step 2 — Custom Quotation & Material Selection
Using your plans, we produce a detailed estimate with scope breakdown (walls, roof, floor, etc.), material options (grade of lumber, steel gauge, connectors), and construction schedule. We review it with you and adjust as needed to stay in budget.
Step 3 — Mobilization & Prep
Before framing, we ensure materials, equipment, scaffolding, and jobsite safety setups are in place. We coordinate with foundation crews and other trades so framing can begin seamlessly.
Step 4 — Framing & Structural Assembly
Our crews erect walls, floors, and roof members—installing sheathing, blocking, bracing, and structural connectors. Intermediate inspections ensure precision before covering or proceeding to the next stage.
Step 5 — Final Quality Inspection & Handover
Once framing is finished, we walk through the structure with you and your project team. We inspect for square walls, level floors, and correct framing tolerances. We address any adjustments. After your approval, we hand over documentation (framing layout, as-built notes, warranty terms).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long will the framing stage take for my project in Calgary?
A: Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project (single-family, multi-unit, commercial), the choice of framing material (wood vs. steel/hybrid), and site conditions (weather, access, foundation readiness). As noted on the page, your home might be framed in one to two weeks, while a full subdivision phase could span several months.
We provide you upfront with a detailed schedule including key milestones—foundation inspection, wall erection, roof framing, etc.—and keep you updated weekly.
Q: What framing materials do you use, and how do I decide between them?
A: We offer wood framing, steel framing, and hybrid systems (mix of wood + steel) depending on the structural and environmental requirements.
​
Your decision depends on factors such as:
​
-
Snow loads, wind loads, span sizes and height requirements in Calgary’s climate.
-
Budget: wood is often more cost-effective; steel/hybrid may allow longer spans or more open layouts.
-
Design intent: For example, if you need large open commercial spaces, steel might perform better.
-
We’ll review your plans and provide material options with pros/cons so you can choose the best fit.
Q: Are you licensed, insured and familiar with Calgary’s building code and permit requirements?
A: Yes. Our Calgary crews are WCB-insured and licensed to operate in Alberta, and we maintain liability insurance and commercial bonding capacity when required.
We also emphasise our local expertise: We understand the Alberta Building Code, Calgary’s snow/wind climate, municipal inspections and compliance.
This local knowledge helps ensure your framing meets code, structural requirements and is completed smoothly.
Q: What factors affect the cost of framing my building in Calgary?
A: Framing cost is influenced by a number of variables, including:
​
-
Material choice: wood vs steel vs hybrid — steel typically costs more.
-
Building size, number of storeys, span lengths, and wall/opening configurations.
-
Site access and logistics (crane usage, difficulty of mobilization).
-
Design repetition (multi-unit or subdivision projects can gain efficiency) versus unique custom homes.
Our approach is to provide an itemised quote with transparent cost components and trade-off options so you understand where your dollars go.
