Why Framing Matters
Framing is about creating a reliable foundation and layout for an entire development. When the other trades on a job site know your team know's their sh*t, the entire project flows better and everyone's happy. Fewer gripes from your subs?! You're welcome.

Framing Systems We Specialize In
At QBC we're experts at framing and framing systems. We specialize in the following:
- Platform Framing: The most common material for platform framing is standard dimensional lumber, usually 2x4 or 2x6 boards made from softwood species like spruce, pine, or fir. For load-bearing applications, materials such as Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) can be used for beams and headers due to its strength and stability
- Engineered Floor Systems: I-joists and Open Web Floor Joists. I-joists are manufactured using high-quality, engineered wood—including LVL flanges and OSB web. Open Web Floor Joists are a type of floor truss that are designed to be lightweight, strong, and efficient with load distribution. They can be made from wood or steel, and are used in a variety of construction projects.
- Trusses: Trusses, both floor and roof trusses, are made from non-engineered wood products such as SPF (Spruce-Pine-Fur) to provide the necessary strength to support large spans.
These framing systems not only ensure compliance with building codes but also enhances the stability and energy efficiency of your projects.

Metal stud framing provides enhanced durability, fire resistance, and protection against pests and moisture. It's ideal for commercial projects that require long-term structural stability.
Panelized framing involves pre-assembling walls and roofs in a controlled environment, which speeds up construction while maintaining quality. This method helps meet tight deadlines and reduces labor costs on-site.
Truss framing uses pre-fabricated triangular structures that distribute weight more efficiently, allowing for larger open spaces. This method speeds up installation and improves structural stability, making it ideal for both residential and commercial projects.
