Foundation & Framing
Foundation and framing are important components of any building, as they form the structural basis for the entire structure. The foundation is the base upon which the building rests, and it must be designed and constructed to support the weight of the building.
What to expect
Our Foundation & Framing process
A clear view of the steps helps you prepare questions and understand how your project moves forward.
- 01
Common types of foundations include slab-on-grade, crawlspace, and basement, with each type offering its own advantages and disadvantages depending on soil conditions and building requirements.
- 02
Framing refers to the construction of the structure's walls, floors, and roof. The framing system typically consists of wooden or metal studs and joists, which are assembled to create a framework for the building.
- 03
The framing must be designed and constructed to be structurally sound and able to support the weight of the building, as well as resist external forces such as wind and seismic activity.
