Framing That Sets the Standard

Our Process for Commercial Framing Projects

We build commercial framing systems that are clean, aligned and ready for every trade that follows.

✅

Site Prep & Layout Verification

Before framing begins, we walk the site to verify slab conditions, layout markings and dimensional accuracy. Our team checks for plumb walls, floor level variances and utility conflicts that may affect framing placement. We confirm architectural drawings against as-built conditions to avoid downstream issues. This ensures framing starts with a reliable foundation.

✅

Track Installation & Framing Anchors

We install bottom and top tracks using appropriate anchors for concrete, steel, or wood substrates. Tracks are aligned with layout lines and fastened securely for lateral stability. We also prep for movement joints or deflection assemblies where required by code. All anchoring is done to match engineered specs and inspection criteria.

✅

Stud Placement & Wall System Assembly

Vertical studs are cut, placed and secured based on framing plans and material schedules. We maintain consistent spacing, height and alignment to ensure wall straightness and drywall compatibility. Our team also installs headers, backing and specialty framing for door openings, bulkheads, or soffits. Framing is checked for squareness before proceeding.

✅

Mechanical Coordination & Integration

We coordinate with HVAC, electrical and plumbing trades to allow for penetrations, clearances, or backing. Our framing includes rough-ins for devices, conduits and access panels as needed. We make adjustments in real time to avoid trade interference and rework. This phase ensures smooth transition to MEP rough-ins.

✅

Final Inspection & Cleanup

Once framing is complete, we walk the site for quality control and code alignment. Any discrepancies are corrected on the spot and we prepare the space for the next phase. We clean up debris, label key framing zones and provide updates to the GC or site supervisor. Your job is left inspection-ready and clearly staged for drywall or ceiling work.

Where Every Wall Begins

When Commercial Framing Is Essential

Framing is the first critical step in nearly every commercial interior or structural build. It defines layouts, supports finishes and ensures that walls, ceilings and systems go exactly where they’re supposed to. Whether you’re building office suites, retail stores, restaurants, healthcare clinics or multi-residential units – commercial framing brings your plans into three-dimensional form. It also plays a key role in fire separation, acoustic performance and mechanical layout.

You’ll need professional framing when launching a new build, reconfiguring a tenant space or upgrading outdated layouts. Steel stud framing is especially valuable in commercial environments for its strength, consistency and fire-resistance. Our team helps ensure that everything following – from drywall to doors – fits correctly and performs as intended. If your Toronto project requires clean lines, code-ready walls and smooth coordination with other trades – it all starts with framing done right.
