Markham blends heritage character with modern growth — from Unionville's protected streetscapes to new master-planned communities in Cornell and Box Grove. This range of construction activity drives demand for framing contractors who can work on precise heritage renovations and efficient production builds alike. Konstruction Group provides complete wood and steel framing across York Region, integrated with insulation and drywall under one contract.
Markham has evolved from a bedroom community into one of the GTA's most diverse construction markets. In the south, Unionville and Markham Village feature heritage homes where additions and renovations require careful structural integration with existing buildings. New master-planned communities in Cornell, Berczy, and Box Grove produce steady volumes of production homes and townhouses. Higher-density projects along Highway 7 and near Markham Centre bring mid-rise construction with metal stud framing for commercial and residential interiors. Established neighborhoods like Angus Glen, Wismer, and Cathedraltown see custom home teardown-and-rebuilds as homeowners invest in larger, modern homes on existing lots. Markham's mix of heritage, production, and custom construction creates a strong year-round market for professional framing services.
If you're a general contractor managing projects in Markham, we offer a complete framing trade package that keeps your schedule tight. One contract covers wall framing, floor systems, and roof framing — and because we also provide insulation and drywall, you can reduce subtrade coordination. Our crews handle both the precision required for custom homes in Angus Glen and the production pace needed for townhouse developments in Cornell. We carry $10M liability insurance and full WSIB coverage for complete site compliance.
Our team reviews architectural and structural drawings, confirms foundation dimensions, and verifies that setbacks meet Markham's zoning requirements. For additions in Unionville and Markham Village, we also assess the existing structure's condition to plan connections between old and new framing.
Typical timeline: 2-4 hoursLumber, engineered wood products, steel connectors, and fasteners are ordered based on takeoff quantities. For production builds in Cornell and Box Grove, we coordinate phased deliveries with the builder's schedule to keep material on-site without creating congestion.
Typical timeline: 1-3 daysChalk lines are snapped on the subfloor to mark all wall locations. Bottom plates are cut, drilled for anchor bolts, and secured to the foundation. On Markham custom homes with complex floor plans, we double-check all dimensions and bearing point locations before proceeding.
Typical timeline: 1 dayExterior and interior walls are built flat on the deck, then raised and braced plumb. Headers, king studs, jack studs, and cripple studs are installed per structural drawings. For multiplex builds in Markham, fire-rated party wall framing is completed per Ontario Building Code separation requirements.
Typical timeline: 3-7 daysFloor joists, rim boards, and subfloor sheathing are installed for upper storeys. Wall framing repeats for each level. For second-storey additions in Angus Glen and Wismer, we install temporary shoring below to carry the new loads during construction.
Typical timeline: 2-5 daysWall sheathing and housewrap are applied, and the structure is prepared for municipal framing inspection. Our crew verifies all connections, hold-downs, and fire separations before calling the City of Markham building inspector. Once passed, the project is ready for [insulation](/spray-foam-insulation-toronto).
Typical timeline: 2-4 daysResidential framing in Markham typically costs $11-$20 per square foot for wood framing and $15-$20 per square foot for steel framing. Custom homes in Angus Glen and Rouge River Estates with complex roof systems tend toward the higher end. Production townhouse framing in Cornell and Box Grove is generally more cost-effective per unit. We provide free on-site estimates.
A typical new home (2,000-3,500 sq ft) takes 3-8 weeks for complete framing. Additions and second-storey pop-tops usually take 2-4 weeks. Timelines vary with the structural complexity, weather conditions, and City of Markham inspection scheduling.
Yes, we have experience framing additions on existing homes in Unionville and Markham Village. These projects require careful structural integration with the original building, including temporary shoring, new load transfers, and connections that meet current [Ontario Building Code](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/120332) standards while respecting the existing structure.
Yes, we frame duplexes, triplexes, and secondary suites across Markham. Under updated Ontario housing legislation, many properties now qualify for [multiplex framing](/multiplex-framing-toronto). These builds require fire-rated party wall assemblies, engineered floor systems, and code-compliant separations between units.
Yes, [garden suites](/garden-suite-toronto) are growing in demand across Markham, particularly in established neighborhoods like Unionville, Cathedraltown, and Wismer where lot sizes can support backyard dwellings. We handle complete framing from foundation plates through roof sheathing, built to Ontario Building Code energy and structural standards.
