Do you frame basement developments in Cornerstone?

Yes, wood-frame basement layouts ready for drywall make up the bulk of our Cornerstone framing. We also cover D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Drake Landing and the Okotoks area.

Do you frame load-bearing walls?

No. On Cornerstone jobs we frame only interior, non-load-bearing walls and bulkheads. A licensed structural engineer is needed for anything structural, and we say so up front on Cornerstone projects.

Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in Cornerstone?

Yes. Framing, boarding, taping and finishing are one crew on a Cornerstone job, so nothing is lost between trades.

Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Cornerstone?

Yes, and on most Cornerstone basement jobs bulkheads and soffits for ductwork, plumbing and lighting come with it.

How do you coordinate with my electrician and plumber in Cornerstone?

Yes, the Cornerstone frame is sequenced so electrical and plumbing rough in cleanly before insulation and drywall.

Framing in Cornerstone, square and ready for drywall

Making rooms out of an open plan or unfinished basement in Cornerstone starts with framing. In Cornerstone we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. Interior, non-load-bearing walls are what we frame in Cornerstone. Anything load-bearing is a licensed structural engineer’s job. Cornerstone is an Okotoks residential community, so framing calls here are mostly basement development layouts and the odd partition change. The crew framing your Cornerstone job also does the board, tape and finish, removing the handoff entirely. We cover Cornerstone, D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Drake Landing and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Cornerstone?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone homes

Because Cornerstone is an Okotoks residential community, framing calls here are mostly basement development layouts and the odd partition change. Housing in Cornerstone is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Our Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone for the stage that follows. Housing in Cornerstone is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Basement development framing in Cornerstone

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Cornerstone — 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. Anything structural is a licensed structural engineer’s work, and we will tell you honestly if your Cornerstone project has crossed into it.

Common framing situations in Cornerstone

In Cornerstone, cornerstone is a residential neighbourhood in Okotoks. Build years vary across the neighbourhood, so rather than assume what is behind the wall we confirm it on site — the finish, the texture and how the existing surface has aged all change how the repair is approached. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.
