Custom Framing, Built to the Plan

A truss can arrive with a clear web pattern and still be ruined by one convenient hole for a pipe. Ontario's rules do not permit a roof truss to be drilled or notched unless its design allows it. Once that hole is made, the crew cannot patch the member from habit and keep moving. An approved repair has to come from the responsible design authority, the affected work stays open, and the schedule waits.

That is why Timberr treats mechanical routes, engineered-member layouts and structural openings as coordination decisions before close-in. If a duct, drain or stair opening conflicts with a truss, I-joist, beam or bearing line, the conflict goes back to the responsible designer in writing. The crew builds the approved answer instead of hiding an improvised one inside the finished house.

The quoted package can include sill plates, beams, posts, floor joists, subfloor, wall plates and studs, lintels, roof framing or trusses, sheathing, bracing, blocking and the connectors that complete the load path. The written quote identifies what belongs to Timberr, what another trade supplies and what must be resolved before mobilization.

Layout starts at the foundation and bearing lines because a small error there transfers upward into floors, walls and openings. Loadbearing walls are checked against the support below. Engineered members keep their product-specific bearing, hole and connector requirements. Sheathing edges, gaps and fasteners follow the applicable drawings and Ontario requirements rather than one copied schedule.

The framing inspection is a hold point, not a ceremonial visit. Structural work and required fire blocking stay visible, approved plans stay available, and unresolved changes stay documented. Drywall inherits the stud spacing and backing. Windows and doors inherit the framed openings. Mechanical trades inherit routes that do not depend on cutting structure after the crew leaves.
