New Construction Framing
Why New Construction Framing Matters
New construction is your opportunity to build with precision — but success depends on how well framing turns your plans into structural reality. Proper framing ensures every wall is square, every opening is accurate, and the entire structure is prepared for plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and finish trades. Poor execution at this phase leads to costly delays, misaligned finishes, and inspection failures.
Our experienced framing crews serve the greater Los Angeles area and surrounding communities within a 60-mile radius. We provide complete new construction framing — from floor systems and roof trusses to structural beams and sheathing — all with a focus on clean execution, scheduling discipline, and code compliance.

New Construction Framing Services
Full House Framing
We provide stick framing for walls, floors, and roofs, including layout, stud installation, top plates, sill plates, headers, and rough openings per plan. Our crews install blocking and bracing to meet shear and wind resistance requirements.
Truss Layout and Installation
We work with truss manufacturers to schedule deliveries and execute safe rigging and installation. Proper bracing and connection methods are followed to ensure trusses perform as engineered.
Floor Framing & Subfloor Installation
From engineered floor systems to traditional joists, we ensure level, squeak-free, and straight floors. Subfloor installation and fastening patterns adhere to manufacturer and code requirements.
Roof Framing
We install rafters, ridgelines, hip and valley framing, and coordinate roof penetrations for mechanical and ventilation. For designs that use engineered roof trusses, we guarantee proper anchorage and bracing.
Sheathing & Weather Barrier Coordination
We prepare walls for sheathing and coordinate with siding and weather-resistive barriers installation. Where required, we install blocking for window and door fasteners and anchor points.
Engineered Beam & LVL Installation
Where plans call for engineered lumber (LVL, glulam), we place beams per the engineer’s layout and ensure proper bearing, bearing plates, and fasteners.
Stair Framing and Complex Geometry
Our crew handles stair rough framing, landings, and complex roof geometries, carefully measuring and assembling to maintain code compliance and finishes fitment.
Quality Standards and Best Practices
Nailing schedules and fastening patterns per code and manufacturer specifications
Proper use of hurricane straps, hold-downs, and connectors at lateral load paths
Correct material handling, including storage on blocking and tarped covers
Accurate notching and boring procedures that maintain structural integrity
Use of engineered solutions where required for openings and long spans
Our Process
Project Management & Scheduling
Pre-Construction Planning
We review structural plans with the client, general contractor, and engineer to clarify scope, specify material lead times, and confirm sequencing. The pre-construction phase helps avoid delays and ensures truss and engineered member deliveries are synchronized with jobsite readiness.
Material Procurement and Staging
We manage ordered materials through to delivery, secure proper storage on-site, and protect lumber from the elements to prevent warping and moisture damage.
On-Site Execution
Our crews adhere to a schedule that aligns with the overall project timeline. We provide daily site management, quality checks, and communication with the general contractor regarding inspections and trade coordination.
Inspection & Closeout
JD Framing coordinates inspection points for framing, sheathing, and roof inspections. We support punchlists and provide documentation for final closures.
Common Challenges & Our Solutions
- Weather delays: We plan protective measures for materials and schedule contingency buffers for inclement weather.
- Truss misalignments: We verify manufacturer plans and perform layout checks before installation to prevent misfits.
- Material shortages: We maintain supplier relationships and provide transparent communication about longer lead times.
- Site access limitations:
We coordinate crane or lift requirements and stage materials to minimize site congestion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can you work from plans or do you need to perform takeoffs?
We work from plans and perform a full materials takeoff as part of our estimate. We verify dimensions and propose any value-engineered options when appropriate.
Do you provide framing for modular or panelized systems?
Our primary focus is stick framing and truss systems, but we coordinate with modular and panel suppliers on interfacing connections and site framing requirements.
How do you ensure inspections go smoothly?
We adhere to engineered plans and local code requirements, provide documentation of materials and fastening, and coordinate inspection schedules in advance.
