Structure & foundation

Build the part of the home everything else depends on.

Residential framing, concrete foundations, underpinning and structural alterations for new homes, additions and major renovation work.

Framing
Walls, floors, roof systems, openings and sheathing.

Concrete
Footings, poured walls, forming and reinforcing.

Structural changes
Underpinning and load-bearing alterations.

Residential framing

Square, level and ready for the trades that follow.

Framing is not a decorative phase. It establishes the geometry that drywall, flooring, cabinetry, windows and exterior systems have to work with later.

Custom-home framingResidential wood framing for new-home construction from architectural and structural drawings.
Addition framingRear, side and second-storey additions that tie new structure into the existing home.
Structural renovationLoad-bearing wall changes, beams/posts, rough openings and framing modifications for major remodels.
Floor & roof systemsFloor joists, subfloor systems, roof trusses or rafters and related structural framing.

Framing / foundation study

Concrete foundations

The project starts below the finished floor.

Bravo Built's foundation scope covers new homes and additions as well as repair and restoration work for existing foundations.

New Foundations

Concrete foundation work for new residential construction, custom homes and additions.

  • Concrete footings
  • Poured foundation walls
  • Forming
  • Reinforcing / rebar
  • Structural concrete
  • Addition foundations

Existing Foundations

Structural foundation work where an existing home needs repair, restoration or a change in basement conditions.

  • Foundation repair
  • Structural foundation repair
  • Foundation restoration
  • Basement underpinning

Basement underpinning

More usable height starts with a structural plan.

Underpinning changes the conditions at the base of the home. It is not the same job as simply finishing an existing basement.

Bravo Built provides basement underpinning for projects intended to lower the basement floor and gain usable ceiling height. The actual approach depends on the existing foundation, engineering, access and municipal requirements.

How structural work moves

Follow the drawings, then follow the sequence.

Structural work is project-specific. The phase names below describe the practical order without promising identical timing or inspection outcomes on every property.

Review

Read the architectural and structural information, identify site conditions and confirm the work that belongs in the structural scope.

Prepare

Coordinate demolition, temporary support, layout, materials and access as the project requires.

Build

Complete the applicable foundation, framing, beam, floor, roof or enclosure work in the order the drawings require.

Inspect & hand off

Where municipal inspections apply, schedule the required stage and move the project forward after the applicable work is ready.

Framing project range

Structural work across several build conditions.

Bravo Built's framing work includes custom-home frames, additions, floor joists, roof structures, sheathing, weather wrap and support-beam conditions. Ask to see examples closest to your project when you speak with the team.

New-home frames

Multi-storey residential structures, floor systems, roof geometry and exterior sheathing.

Addition tie-ins

New framing joined to existing residential structure for expansion projects.

Structural details

Support beams, rough openings, joists, sheathing and related structural elements that define the build before finish work.
