Scarborough's construction market is driven by renovation and infill — from post-war bungalow rebuilds in Birch Cliff and Guildwood to multiplex developments near Scarborough Centre and garden suites across the district's established neighborhoods. Konstruction Group provides complete wood and steel framing across Scarborough, integrated with insulation and drywall for a streamlined build package.
Scarborough is one of Toronto's most active areas for residential renovation and infill construction. The district's post-war housing stock — bungalows and split-levels in Birch Cliff, Cliffside, Guildwood, and Highland Creek — generates a constant stream of teardown-and-rebuild projects as homeowners replace aging structures with modern custom homes. Second-storey additions and pop-tops are especially common in neighborhoods like Woburn, Bendale, and West Hill where families expand rather than move. Scarborough Centre's development zone is attracting mid-rise and mixed-use projects that require metal stud framing. Garden suites and basement apartments are increasingly popular across the district as Toronto's housing policies encourage additional dwelling units. With its combination of renovation, infill, and new development, Scarborough keeps professional framing crews busy year-round.
If you're a general contractor managing renovation or new-build projects in Scarborough, we offer a complete framing trade package. One contract covers wall framing, floor systems, and roof framing — and because we also handle insulation and drywall, we can bundle all three trades to simplify scheduling. Our crews are experienced with the tight-lot infill conditions common in Scarborough, where crane access and material staging require careful planning. We carry $10M liability insurance and full WSIB coverage for complete site compliance.
Our team reviews architectural and structural drawings, confirms foundation dimensions, and checks that setbacks meet Toronto's zoning requirements. For tight-lot infill projects in Birch Cliff and Cliffside, we also plan crane placement, material staging, and neighbor notification before mobilizing.
Typical timeline: 2-4 hoursLumber, engineered wood products, steel connectors, and fasteners are ordered based on takeoff quantities. For Scarborough infill projects with limited site access, we coordinate just-in-time deliveries to avoid material congestion on narrow lots.
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 Scarborough addition projects, we verify the connection points between existing and new foundation walls before setting plates.
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 Scarborough, 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. On second-storey additions in Woburn and Bendale, temporary shoring is installed below to carry the new loads while construction proceeds above.
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 Toronto building inspector. Once passed, the project is ready for [insulation](/spray-foam-insulation-toronto).
Typical timeline: 2-4 daysResidential framing in Scarborough typically costs $11-$20 per square foot for wood framing and $15-$20 per square foot for steel framing. Teardown-and-rebuild projects are common across the district, with pricing depending on storey count, roof complexity, and whether engineered lumber is required. We provide free on-site estimates.
Yes, second-storey additions are one of our most common services in Scarborough neighborhoods like Woburn, Bendale, and West Hill. These projects require structural engineering to verify the existing foundation can carry the new loads, temporary shoring during construction, and proper connections between old and new framing per the [Ontario Building Code](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/120332).
Yes, [garden suites](/garden-suite-toronto) are growing in popularity across Scarborough, especially in established neighborhoods like Highland Creek, Guildwood, and Birch Cliff where lot sizes support backyard construction. We frame garden suites from foundation to roof sheathing, built to Ontario Building Code energy and structural standards.
Yes, we frame duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes across Scarborough. These projects are increasingly common as Toronto's zoning changes under Bill 23 allow multi-unit buildings on residential lots. [Multiplex framing](/multiplex-framing-toronto) requires fire-rated party wall assemblies, engineered floor systems, and code-compliant separations between units.
A typical custom home (2,000-3,000 sq ft) takes 3-8 weeks for complete framing. Teardown-and-rebuild projects in Scarborough often frame faster than additions because there's no integration with existing structure. Timelines depend on the complexity, weather, and City of Toronto inspection scheduling.
