What we build

Framing services built around your project

From ground-up custom homes to tight infill additions, we handle the structural framing everything else in the build depends on.

01 — Custom Homes

Custom Home Framing

Full structural framing for new custom-home construction — foundation-to-roof layout, wall and floor systems, engineered lumber, and roof trusses. We work directly from stamped plans, so every trade that follows us inherits a square, true structure.

  • Foundation-to-roof structural framing
  • Engineered lumber & truss installation
  • Shear wall & lateral bracing systems
  • Framing inspections coordinated with your GC

Accessory Dwelling Units

ADUs framed to current California code — a clean, efficient build from slab to roofline that maximizes your property's value.

Remodels & Additions

Pop-tops, second-story additions, and room extensions with clean tie-ins to your existing structure — matched framing, no shortcuts.

Why active framing

Built on accountability

Framing is the trade every other trade depends on. Here's how we make sure it's right the first time.

01

Owner-Supervised Work

Every project gets direct oversight from owner Javier Marquez — not a rotating cast of unsupervised crews.

02

Code-Compliant Framing

We build to current California Building Code and CSLB standards, so your framing inspections pass the first time.

03

Clean Job Sites

Materials staged, debris managed, and your property respected — from the first wall snap to final walk-off.

04

Reliable Scheduling

We show up when we say we will and keep your GC's timeline on track, with clear communication throughout.
