Wall and Roof Framing
Our framing work covers the structural timber the rest of the build depends on. For wall framing, we set out and stand walls to the plans, frame window and door openings to the sizes on the schedule, and brace and tie down the frame as specified. For roof framing, we work from the truss layout or the rafter and beam details in the drawings, so the roof structure is ready for the roofer and the trades that follow.
Every job is priced and built against the builder’s documentation. If something in the plans doesn’t line up on site, such as a dimension that clashes with the slab set-out or an opening that doesn’t match the window schedule, we raise it with you before we cut, not after the frame is standing.
Working to Your Build Schedule
A late frame pushes back every trade behind it. Before we start, we confirm the start date, how long the frame will take and what we need from you, such as slab completion, frame and truss deliveries, and site access. Once we’re on site, we keep the supervisor updated so the next trades can be booked with confidence.
If the program shifts because of weather, deliveries or earlier trades running late, let us know as early as you can. Early notice gives us the best chance of moving our crew to suit your new dates. For builders with several jobs coming up, we’re happy to look at the pipeline together and pencil in framing dates across multiple sites.
Quality Checks Before Frame Inspection
The frame inspection is a hold point, and a failed inspection costs time on site. Before we hand the frame back, we walk through it and check the items that commonly come up, including plumb and straight walls, bracing and tie-downs, lintels and openings, and the roof structure fixed to the drawings.
Anything we pick up is fixed before we call the frame complete, so you can book the inspection knowing the carpentry is ready. If the inspector does raise an item on our work, we’ll work with you to sort it quickly so the job keeps moving.
Once the frame is signed off, Ryze can carry straight on with lock up carpentry, keeping the same crew on the job from frame to lock up. You can also see our full range of carpentry services for builders.
