Accurate structural wood framing for custom homes and new houses that need to be built square, plumb, coordinated and ready for the trades that follow.
House framing turns the architectural and structural drawings into the load-bearing form of the home. Nexbuild Creations works with custom-home builders, general contractors, project teams and homeowners across Vancouver and Metro Vancouver on the structural framing phase of new construction.
Depending on the issued plans and estimate, a project may include floor systems, exterior and interior walls, posts and beams, sheathing, openings, blocking, stairs and the roof structure. We review the drawings before mobilizing so responsibilities are clear and details that affect later trades are considered early.
We are a framing contractor rather than a turnkey home builder. Foundations, engineering, mechanical and electrical work, windows, exterior finishes and interior finishes are not assumed to be part of our scope. Engineering, material supply and any work beyond framing are confirmed in the estimate.
Custom homes often combine detailed architecture, engineered components and site-specific construction requirements. We review the complete framing package before work begins.
Large openings, feature walls, vaulted spaces, varied ceiling heights and complex roof forms require careful layout. Current architectural dimensions and structural details give the framing crew one coordinated source of direction.
Custom-house plans may specify LVL or other engineered members, posts, hangers, hold-downs and connectors. Procurement responsibility, installation details and inspection requirements are established before the related framing stage.
We coordinate the confirmed framing scope with the builder's schedule, material deliveries and required handoffs. Early discussion of window openings, mechanical routes and specialty assemblies helps reduce avoidable conflicts.
The final scope depends on the drawings, project stage and division of work established in the quote.
Layout and assembly of specified floor systems, load-bearing walls, partitions and sheathing, with attention to openings and dimensions that affect other trades.
Installation of specified dimensional lumber, engineered wood, posts, lintels and hardware according to the structural details supplied for the project.
Rafter framing or truss installation can be included when shown in the drawings and quote. See our detailed roof and truss framing service.
A useful estimate and realistic start date begin with complete information.
Send the current architectural and structural sets, including relevant schedules and details. Identifying revisions early reduces rework and gives everyone one set of documents to follow.
The project address, foundation readiness, access, storage space, delivery limitations and target framing window all affect crew planning. We discuss these conditions before confirming the schedule.
The quote identifies who supplies lumber, engineered wood, connectors, trusses and consumables. Long-lead or specialty components should be coordinated with the framing sequence.
Temporary works, crane service, waste removal, protection, inspections and corrections outside the issued framing scope are discussed rather than assumed. The written estimate records what is included.
Send the project address, plans and target start date for a framing review.
Our core service is structural wood framing, not turnkey home building. The estimate identifies the exact framing work, material responsibility and coordination expected from Nexbuild.
Architectural and structural drawings are the most useful starting point. Include the project address, target schedule, relevant revisions and any known access or delivery constraints.
Material supply can be included or coordinated by the builder or owner. Lumber, engineered wood, hardware, trusses, delivery and waste handling are confirmed in the written estimate.
We review single-family custom homes and suitable low-rise multi-family framing projects. Crew requirements, sequencing and schedule are assessed from the plans and project conditions before quoting.
