Framing in Riviera, square and ready for drywall

Making rooms out of an open plan or unfinished basement in Riviera starts with framing. In Riviera 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 Riviera. Anything load-bearing is a licensed structural engineer’s job. Riviera is a new riverside Cochrane community where fresh installation and settling work are common, so framing calls here are almost all basement development layouts, since the main floors are freshly built to plan. The crew framing your Riviera job also does the board, tape and finish, removing the handoff entirely. We cover Riviera and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of framing in Riviera?

Wall length, layout and openings

Framing cost in Riviera 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 Riviera homes

Because Riviera is a new riverside Cochrane community where fresh installation and settling work are common, framing calls here are almost all basement development layouts, since the main floors are freshly built to plan. In Riviera we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Our Riviera 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 Riviera 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 Riviera for the stage that follows.

Basement development framing in Riviera

From open concrete to real rooms

A basement development layout is the most common framing job we do in Riviera — 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 Riviera project has crossed into it. Housing in Riviera is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Framing Riviera: your questions answered

Do you frame basement developments in Riviera?
Yes, wood-frame basement layouts ready for drywall make up the bulk of our Riviera framing. We also cover Cochrane, Sunset Ridge, Heritage Hills and the Cochrane area.
Do you frame load-bearing walls?
No. On Riviera 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 Riviera projects.
Can the same crew do the drywall after framing in Riviera?
Yes. Framing, boarding, taping and finishing are one crew on a Riviera job, so nothing is lost between trades.
Do you build bulkheads around ducting in Riviera?
Yes, and on most Riviera basement jobs bulkheads and soffits for ductwork, plumbing and lighting come with it.
How do you coordinate with my electrician and plumber in Riviera?
Yes, the Riviera frame is sequenced so electrical and plumbing rough in cleanly before insulation and drywall.
