Wood + light-gauge framing
Walls, floors, roofs, soffits, openings, backing, and coordinated architectural geometry.

Structural framing + alterations
Framing planned as a load path, a sequence, and a finished building.
Framing becomes complex where existing conditions, engineering, temporary support, utilities, weather protection, tolerances, and finished architecture meet. We organize those interfaces before demolition or installation makes the next decision expensive.
Coordinated scope
What this specialty connects.
Wood and metal framing, structural alterations, large openings, additions, repair scopes, temporary work, and trade coordination.
Structural alterations
Large openings, posts, beams, shear elements, foundations, and approved load-path changes.
Existing-condition work
Selective investigation, repair, reinforcement, tie-ins, and field verification.
Temporary + trade coordination
Shoring, sequencing, access, protection, MEP routes, envelope, and finish interfaces.
Delivery path
From condition to closeout.
The exact sequence adapts to the project, while decisions, interfaces, and responsibility remain visible.
- 01
Confirm the condition
Compare available drawings and engineering with measured site conditions.
- 02
Plan the sequence
Resolve temporary support, demolition limits, access, weather protection, and inspections.
- 03
Coordinate interfaces
Protect structural intent while routing MEP, windows, waterproofing, and finishes.
- 04
Build + document
Execute approved work, inspections, concealed-condition records, and closeout.
Frequently asked
Clear roles. Clear next actions.
Can a general contractor design the structural change?
No. A California-licensed engineer prepares and is responsible for required structural design. We coordinate constructability and execute the approved work.
Can you frame a complete addition?
Yes, as part of an authorized general-contractor scope that may include foundations, structure, envelope, MEP, interiors, permits, and inspections.
Do you repair damaged framing?
Potentially. The cause, extent, structural significance, moisture or pest conditions, and any required professional design must be established before promising a repair.
