Framing in Cimarron, square and ready for drywall

The frame is where an unfinished Cimarron basement or open plan becomes actual rooms. In Cimarron we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. We frame interior, non-load-bearing walls in Cimarron; load-bearing work belongs to a licensed structural engineer. Cimarron is a Calgary community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so framing calls here range from clean basement layouts in the newer homes to alteration work in the older ones. In a Cimarron home the framing crew carries on into boarding, taping and finishing, so no handoff occurs. We cover Cimarron, D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Drake Landing and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Cimarron?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Cimarron tracks the total wall length, the complexity of the layout, and the number of openings and bulkheads. We price off a site walk-through and give a fixed number before we start.

Typical framing work in Cimarron homes

Because Cimarron is a Calgary community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, framing calls here range from clean basement layouts in the newer homes to alteration work in the older ones.

Our Cimarron framing process, step by step

Layout before lumber

We chalk the plate lines from the plan or your walk-through direction and confirm every wall location in your Cimarron space before anything is cut.

Square, plumb, spaced right

We frame the walls square and plumb with stud spacing matched to the board going over them — the frame stage is where a wavy wall gets built or avoided. See our basement drywall work in Cimarron for the stage that follows. Basement development is common in Cimarron, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Basement development framing in Cimarron

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Cimarron — bedrooms, a bathroom, a media room or a suite, framed to plan and ready for the trades that follow.

Interior and non-load-bearing only

We keep our framing to interior, non-load-bearing walls and bulkheads. If it is structural it belongs with a licensed structural engineer; you will get a straight answer on that before we start in Cimarron. In Cimarron condos and townhomes there is usually a building rule about work hours and access to plan around.

Common framing situations in Cimarron

In Cimarron, cimarron is one of Okotoks’s largest and most established communities, spanning central and southwest Okotoks with everything from starter homes and townhomes to larger family properties on mature, tree-lined streets -- so our Cimarron calls range from settling-crack repair in older sections to basement finishing in newer pockets.

What framing usually involves in Cimarron

Cimarron homes are mostly in their first decade, so the framing usually means dealing with settling that has slowed but not stopped — the joints that were going to move have mostly moved.

In Cimarron condos and townhomes there is usually a building rule about work hours and elevator access to plan around.

Basements in Cimarron run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.

Framing Cimarron: your questions answered

Do you frame basement developments in Cimarron?
Yes -- most of our Cimarron framing work is wood-frame basement layouts finished ready for board. We also cover D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Drake Landing and the Okotoks area.
Do you frame load-bearing walls?
No -- interior, non-load-bearing walls and bulkheads are the limit of what we frame in Cimarron. Where the work is structural a licensed structural engineer is required, and you will hear that from us on the Cimarron visit.
Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in Cimarron?
Yes -- because one Cimarron crew does all four stages, there is no handoff for anything to get lost in.
Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Cimarron?
Yes -- in Cimarron basements, bulkheads and soffits around ductwork, plumbing and lighting are close to standard.
Do you sequence with the other trades on a Cimarron project?
Yes -- we order the Cimarron framing around your other trades so their rough-in is clean before insulation and board.
