Every project we touch starts with a solid frame. That might sound obvious for a construction company, but framing is where long-term durability, precise finishes, and client trust are really forged. Here’s how the Rosewood crew approaches every structural build-out.
1. Start with the load path
Before a single stud goes up, our team reviews architectural drawings and onsite measurements to confirm the loads flowing from roof to foundation. We calculate bearing points, verify joist spans, and double-check engineered beams so the finished space feels solid underfoot.
2. Work with seasoned materials
We source kiln-dried lumber and moisture-resistant sheathing to minimize twisting or shrinkage as the home acclimates. On larger additions, we’ll often specify LVL or PSL beams to keep floor plans open without compromising strength.
3. Frame for the finish
Clean drywall lines, cabinet reveals, and tile layouts depend on plumb walls and square corners. Our framing crew lasers every layout, backs up fixtures with proper blocking, and labels mechanical chases so the trades following us stay efficient.
4. Insulate and protect early
Weather wraps, sill gaskets, and spray-foam sealing happen as soon as the structure is tied together. Getting ahead of moisture and air infiltration keeps projects on schedule and prevents the callbacks that plague lesser builds.
5. Communicate with clients
Framing is the first stage where owners can finally walk through their future space. We host site walk-throughs, explain structural choices in plain language, and make adjustments while they’re still easy to execute.
6. Punch it like a finish phase
Before we call in inspections, a project lead checks every stud, hanger, anchor, and strap. Tightening the framing punch list now means fewer surprises when drywall and millwork arrive.
Construction trends change, but solid framing remains the backbone of any renovation. By pairing engineering rigor with thoughtful craftsmanship, Rosewood ensures each project stays true to the design intent and performs for decades.
