Do you frame basement developments in Olde Towne?

Yes. The job we do most in Olde Towne is a wood-frame basement layout taken to drywall-ready. We also cover D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Drake Landing and the Okotoks area.

Do you frame load-bearing walls?

No. Our Olde Towne framing covers interior, non-load-bearing walls and bulkheads, nothing beyond that. Structural work requires a licensed structural engineer -- we flag it as soon as we see it in a Olde Towne home.

Yes. A single crew covers framing through finishing in Olde Towne, so nothing falls through a gap between trades.

Yes. Almost every Olde Towne basement frame includes bulkheads and soffits to box in ducting, plumbing and lights.

Will you work around my electrician and plumber in Olde Towne?

Yes. The framing on a Olde Towne job is sequenced so the other trades rough in cleanly ahead of insulation and drywall.

Framing in Olde Towne, square and ready for drywall

In a Olde Towne home, real rooms out of an unfinished basement or open floor plan begin at the framing. In Olde Towne we build wood-frame basement development layouts and interior partition walls — squared, plumbed and spaced for the drywall going over them. Our Olde Towne framing is interior and non-load-bearing only -- anything load-bearing goes to a licensed structural engineer. Olde Towne is Okotoks's historic core, where the housing stock is older, so framing here often means reworking walls that have shifted or been altered over the decades, alongside basement development. Whoever frames it in Olde Towne also boards, tapes and finishes it -- nothing changes hands between trades. We cover Olde Towne, D’Arcy, Crystal Shores, Drake Landing and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Olde Towne?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Olde Towne 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 Olde Towne homes

Because Olde Towne is Okotoks's historic core, where the housing stock is older, framing here often means reworking walls that have shifted or been altered over the decades, alongside basement development.

Our Olde Towne 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 Olde Towne 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 Olde Towne for the stage that follows. Olde Towne spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Basement development framing in Olde Towne

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Olde Towne — 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. Structural work goes to a licensed structural engineer, and we say so plainly when a Olde Towne project turns out to need one. Olde Towne spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Common framing situations in Olde Towne

In Olde Towne, olde Towne 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. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.

Why Olde Towne homeowners trust Emplastrum for framing
