Konstruction Group is a licensed framing contractor serving builders, general contractors, and homeowners throughout Toronto and the GTA. We provide complete rough framing for custom homes, additions, renovations, and multi-unit residential projects. Our scope includes wood and steel framing, plus insulation and drywall - the core trades that define your building's structure and interior spaces. With 15+ years of experience and $10M liability coverage, we're the framing partner builders trust.


Good framing is the foundation of a quality home. Our crews deliver walls that are plumb, floors that are level, and corners that are square. We select straight lumber, cull defective pieces, and use proper fastening patterns per Ontario Building Code. The result is a structure that makes every following trade's job easier - from electricians to finish carpenters.
We're equally proficient with wood and steel framing systems. Traditional wood framing remains the standard for most residential construction. Steel studs offer advantages for interior partitions, basement finishing, and commercial-style applications. For structural support, we also install steel beams and moment frames per your structural drawings.
| Factor | Wood Framing (SPF Lumber) | Steel Framing (CFS / Structural) |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per sq ft | $11–$20 | $15–$20 (20–40% premium) |
| OBC Classification | Part 9 residential (combustible) | Part 4 commercial (non-combustible) |
| Fire Resistance | Requires gypsum protection for fire ratings | Inherent non-combustible; easier to achieve 1-hr and 2-hr ratings |
| Thermal Performance | R-1.0/inch; lower thermal bridging | R-0; higher thermal bridging requires thermal break |
| Moisture / Warping | Can warp, shrink, and twist as moisture content changes | No warping or shrinkage; dimensionally stable |
| Modification on Site | Easy to cut and adjust with standard tools | Requires specialized tools; harder to modify |
| Typical Use | Custom homes, additions, garden suites, multiplexes | Commercial, multi-storey, high-moisture, open-span designs |
| Lifespan | 50+ years with proper protection | 100+ years; resistant to rot, mold, and termites |
| Speed of Installation | Faster; familiar to most crews | Slower; requires certified installers |
If you're a GC running multiplex builds, custom homes, or large-scale renovations, you need a framing sub who understands construction sequencing and doesn't hold up the schedule. We coordinate directly with your mechanical trades - HVAC, plumbing, electrical - to ensure proper blocking, backing, and chase locations are built into the frame from day one. No callbacks to add nailer plates or re-open walls. For multiplex projects, we build fire-rated wall assemblies per Ontario Building Code requirements, with proper documentation ready for your framing inspection. Our crews maintain clean, organized job sites and communicate proactively about scheduling conflicts. We carry $10M liability insurance and full WSIB coverage - the paperwork your clients and lenders require is always current.
Many Toronto homeowners manage their own additions, second-storey builds, or renovation projects with permits in hand. If that's you, we work directly with homeowner-builders regularly and understand the questions you'll have. We walk you through the process - what to expect at each stage, what inspections are required before we close up walls, and how our framing ties into the trades that follow. Whether you're adding a rear extension, converting an attic to living space, or framing a basement after underpinning, we build to your permitted drawings and structural engineer's specifications. We explain what we're doing and why, so you're confident at every inspection.
Standard SPF (spruce-pine-fir) lumber handles most residential framing - walls, partitions, and conventional roof systems. But modern homes often require engineered wood products for longer spans and heavier loads. We install LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams for open-concept floor plans where traditional lumber can't span the distance. TJI (engineered I-joists) provide consistent, straight floor systems with better dimensional stability than sawn lumber - no squeaky floors from twisted joists. PSL (parallel strand lumber) columns carry concentrated point loads where steel columns aren't specified. These engineered products integrate seamlessly with steel beams at bearing points. We source materials from established Toronto-area lumber yards and verify every engineered product matches your structural engineer's specifications before installation.
Ontario Building Code (OBC 2024) governs every aspect of residential framing - stud spacing, header sizes, sheathing requirements, bracing, and fire-stopping. Our crews frame to code as a baseline, not as an afterthought. Fire-stopping at floor-to-floor transitions, around mechanical penetrations, and at party walls in multiplexes is installed during framing rather than chased down later. We coordinate vapour barrier placement with your insulation strategy - whether that's a poly barrier behind batt insulation or relying on closed-cell spray foam as both insulation and vapour retarder. Proper framing means smooth inspections. We're available on-site for framing inspections, address any inspector comments the same day, and ensure your project moves forward without delays from code issues.
Most of our work comes from repeat builders and general contractors who value reliable scheduling, quality workmanship, and professional site conduct. We understand construction sequencing, coordinate effectively with other trades, and maintain clean, safe job sites. Our pricing is competitive and transparent - no surprises or extras.
Hiring Konstruction for framing, insulation, and drywall simplifies your project. One contractor, one schedule, one point of accountability for the trades that define your interior spaces. We coordinate our own sequencing between framing completion, spray foam or batt insulation after mechanical rough-in, and drywall installation with soundproofing where required. This package approach is why builders choose us for project after project.

You provide architectural and structural drawings. We review scope, identify materials, and note any questions or concerns.
Typical timeline: 1-3 daysWe assess the site, verify foundation readiness, and confirm logistics for material delivery and staging.
Typical timeline: 1-2 hoursItemized estimate for framing, insulation, and drywall with timeline and terms clearly stated.
Typical timeline: 3-5 daysWe coordinate start date based on foundation completion and lock in crew availability.
Typical timeline: As neededComplete structural framing - floors, walls, roof. Blocking installed. Ready for mechanical rough-in.
Typical timeline: 3-6 weeksAfter mechanical/electrical rough-in and inspection, we install specified insulation.
Typical timeline: 1-2 weeksDrywall hung, taped, and finished. Walls ready for primer and paint.
Typical timeline: 2-3 weeksHouse framing typically costs $15-$20 per square foot for labor depending on complexity, storeys, and roof design. A 2,500 sq ft custom home might run $37,500-$50,000 for framing labor. This is for framing only - add insulation and drywall for complete interior rough-in. We provide detailed quotes from your architectural drawings.
We offer both options. Turnkey packages include lumber, engineered products, fasteners, and hardware at competitive pricing through our supplier relationships. Labor-only works if you're supplying materials. Many builders prefer our complete package for simplified coordination.
A typical single-family home takes 3-6 weeks to frame depending on size and complexity. Two-storey homes and complex roof designs take longer. Weather can impact scheduling. We provide specific timelines after reviewing your drawings and understanding the full scope.
Yes, we frame year-round in Toronto. Cold weather doesn't affect framing quality - lumber is actually more stable when dry. We protect work from snow and ice and adjust operations in extreme cold. Winter framing can keep your project moving when others are waiting for spring.
We serve Toronto and the entire GTA including Mississauga, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Brampton, Oakville, and surrounding areas. Most of our work is within an hour of Toronto. Contact us with your project location for confirmation.
We don't obtain permits - that's typically the builder's or homeowner's responsibility. We frame to permitted drawings and ensure our work meets Ontario Building Code requirements. We're available for framing inspections and address any inspector comments promptly.
