What Is Custom Home Framing?
Custom home framing is the structural skeleton of your building. It defines the shape, layout, and load-bearing capacity of every wall, floor, and roof system. Done right, framing ensures your home stands strong for generations. Done poorly, it creates costly structural problems down the road.
Framing contractors install the studs, joists, rafters, headers, and beams that support everything else in your home — drywall, insulation, windows, roofing, and finishes. The quality of your framing directly affects your home's durability, energy efficiency, and resale value.
Common terms you'll encounter when researching framing:
Wood stud framing — the traditional method using dimensional lumber for walls and floors
Steel stud framing — cold-formed steel studs used for partition walls, commercial interiors, and fire-rated assemblies
Platform framing — the most common residential technique where each floor is framed independently
Structural insulated panels (SIPs) — engineered panel systems used in energy-efficient builds
Types of Custom Home Framing Services We Offer
-
New Home Construction Framing
We frame complete new residential builds from slab to roof. Our framing contractors work directly from architectural drawings to construct load-bearing walls, floor systems, roof trusses, and all structural elements. We coordinate with your general contractor, engineer, and inspection team to keep your project on track.

Home Addition Framing
Adding a second storey, rear addition, or garage apartment? Framing an addition requires seamless integration with your existing structure. Our team assesses load paths, foundation capacity, and connection details before a single stud goes up — protecting your home's structural integrity throughout the build.

Steel Stud Framing
Our steel framing contractors handle interior partition walls, basement development, commercial tenant improvements, and mixed-use builds. Steel stud framing is non-combustible, dimensionally stable, and resistant to moisture — making it ideal for below-grade applications and multi-storey residential projects.

Renovation and Reframe Projects
Structural reframes — removing walls, altering load paths, or reconfiguring floor plans — require precise engineering awareness. CanaStruct Inc works with your structural engineer's plans to safely reframe interiors, add beam pockets, and reinforce critical load points without disrupting the rest of your home.

Our Framing Process — Step by Step
Initial Consultation: We discuss your project goals, timeline, and drawings. We identify scope, material requirements, and any structural considerations up front.

Detailed Estimate: We provide a written, line-item estimate with materials, labour, and timeline. No lump sums. No guesswork.
Planning and Material Procurement: We order materials, confirm engineering details, and schedule crew deployment to align with your project's critical path.
Execution: Our framing crew builds to drawing specifications, maintaining clean, organized sites and communicating daily with your project manager or GC.
Quality Check: Before calling for inspection, our site supervisor conducts a full structural walkthrough to verify stud alignment, header sizing, connection hardware, and code compliance.
Project Completion: We walk through the completed frame with you, address any questions, and provide documentation for your permit file.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does custom home framing cost in Toronto?
Framing costs vary significantly based on the size of the project, complexity of the design, material type, and current lumber prices. As a rough benchmark, residential wood framing in the GTA typically ranges from $8 to $18 per square foot of framed area. Steel stud framing for interior partitions runs lower per square foot but varies by wall height and finish requirements. CanaStruct provides free, detailed estimates for all projects.
How long does framing a custom home take?
A typical single-family home frame takes two to four weeks depending on size, design complexity, weather, and crew size. Larger projects or those with complex roof structures may take longer. We establish a firm timeline at the estimate stage and communicate any adjustments proactively.
Can CanaStruct Inc handle large or complex framing projects?
Yes. CanaStruct Inc has experience on complex custom homes, multi-unit residential builds, mixed-use developments, and commercial tenant improvements. We work closely with structural engineers and project managers to handle non-standard layouts, vaulted ceilings, large span structures, and phased builds.
