Konstruction Group provides professional renovation framing services for Toronto homeowners and renovation contractors. We handle interior wall modifications, load-bearing changes, structural reinforcement, and all rough framing needed to transform your space. Our scope includes framing, insulation, and drywall - giving you one contractor for the core renovation trades. We coordinate with engineers for structural work and ensure all framing meets Ontario Building Code requirements.


Opening up floor plans often requires removing or modifying load-bearing walls. This structural work requires engineering - a structural engineer designs the beam and support system, specifying steel size, bearing plate dimensions, and connection details. We install temporary shoring using adjustable steel posts and engineered lumber to safely support loads during construction, then install the permanent steel beam or steel columns per the engineer's specifications. Beams are typically W-shape steel (W8 or W10 are common for residential spans) set on steel post columns bearing on the foundation. We handle the framing; you arrange for engineering and permits.
We understand renovation framing often happens while you're living in your home. Our crews work efficiently, protect finished areas from dust and debris with polyethylene sheeting and floor protection, and clean up daily. We communicate clearly about the work schedule so you know when to expect noise from framing nailers and cutting. We coordinate with your other trades to avoid scheduling conflicts, and temporary barriers with zipper doors keep construction zones separated from living spaces.

We evaluate the existing structure and discuss your renovation goals. For structural work, we identify engineering needs.

Typical timeline: 3-10 daysAfter mechanical rough-in, insulation and drywall installed to complete our scope.
Typical timeline: 1-2 weeksLoad-bearing walls typically run perpendicular to floor joists and support loads from above - including the roof, upper floors, or ceiling joists. They're often in the centre of the house or along the main structural axis. However, only a professional should determine this - getting it wrong can cause cracked ceilings, sagging floors, or worse. We can do an initial assessment on site, but any structural changes require an engineer's stamped design before work begins.
The framing portion - temporary shoring, beam installation, and post work - typically runs $3,000-$10,000 depending on span and complexity. This doesn't include engineering fees, permits, or finishing. Total project cost including all trades is usually $8,000-$20,000+. We quote our scope specifically.
Structural modifications including load-bearing changes require building permits from the City of Toronto. Simple non-load-bearing partition walls often don't require permits, but check with Toronto Building for your specific situation, especially for basement bedrooms which need egress windows. Electrical and plumbing work in new walls requires separate trade permits. We frame to code; you or your GC handle permits.
Most renovation framing takes 3-10 days depending on scope. Load-bearing beam installation might be 1-2 days. Adding several partition walls takes 2-4 days. Add time for insulation and drywall. We provide specific timelines based on your project.
Yes, we match existing framing methods and dimensions wherever possible. Older Toronto homes may have different lumber sizes - true 2x4s rather than modern 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" dimensional lumber, balloon framing instead of platform framing, or non-standard stud spacing. We tie new work into existing structure properly using appropriate fasteners and connection methods. Our experience with Toronto's older housing stock, including Victorians, semi-detached homes, and post-war bungalows, helps us work seamlessly with existing construction.
