What Does House Framing Include in Ottawa?
House framing is the bones of your home that hold up walls, floors, and roofs1. Here in Ottawa we use wood or steel to make strong frames that keep your home standing for the next hundred years.
There are several types of framing for residential and commercial buildings including:
- Stick framing - typical framing for houses
- Prefab open panels - large panels are designed and built offsite before assembly onsite
- Post and beam - sometimes used in barn construction or other large structures
- Steel frame - typical for commercial construction
- Structural insulated panels (SIP's) - a construction system where panels are prefabricated and insulated offsite
- Insulated concrete Forms (ICF's) - Another home framing system using foam and concrete
Each framing method or system has its own advantages and drawbacks, and we use the system that best meets your goals.
Permit Requirements for Framing Projects in Ottawa
Building permits are required for all house framing work in Ottawa. Either your designer or we will submit drawings to the building department and wait for approval before framing starts. Permits are issued when building code requirements are verified. We'll schedule framing inspections as needed during construction.
Framing for renovations generally requires a permit in Ottawa. Typically we seek permits when walls are moved and electrical work is needed during a renovation.
How Long Professional House Framing Takes
Stick framing is one of the major stages of house construction, it takes from 3 to 8 weeks depending on the complexity of the house. Other prefab framing methods like open panel are much faster on site because most of the work takes place offsite. Open panels are simply lined up and fastened in place using a crane so framing takes just 2 days for a house.
For renovation or addition projects the framing portion is faster. Framing for an addition or renovation is 5-15 days.
