Framing & Structural Work

Structural work is the least forgiving part of a project. It is where we work most closely with engineers, and where slow careful measurement pays off more than speed.

— 01

What's included

—Wall removal with temporary shoring
—Header and beam installation
—Framing repairs and sistering
—Framing for additions and remodels

— 02

Planning considerations

—Engineering may be required — coordinated with a licensed structural engineer
—Temporary shoring designed before demolition
—Impact on mechanical, electrical and plumbing routing

— Colorado climate

Site-specific decisions

Not climate-driven, but Colorado snow loads and wind directly affect header and beam sizing on additions.

— Permits

Jurisdictional requirements

Structural work requires permits and inspection in every jurisdiction we work in.

— 03

Our process for this work

Site visit → engineer review when required → permit → shoring → framing → inspection → close-in.

— FAQ

Common questions

Almost always — either to confirm the wall is non-load-bearing or to size the header. We coordinate with a licensed structural engineer as part of the scope.
