Full-Service Framing for Residential and Commercial Projects
AJ Design & Build is a trusted framing contractor delivering wood and steel framing services across Canada. We construct custom homes from the ground up, develop multiplexes and garden suites in line with modern housing policies, and complete commercial tenant improvements that demand precise metal stud framing. Our scope includes all structural components — floor systems, load-bearing walls, roof trusses, as well as essential backing and blocking for other trades. Whether your project is a single-family home or a multi-storey development, our team works from engineered drawings to deliver framing that meets inspection standards on the first pass.
Built to Canadian Building Code Standards
Every structure we frame complies with current Canadian building code requirements for structural strength, fire protection, and energy efficiency. We follow stamped engineering drawings and coordinate closely with structural engineers when on-site adjustments are needed. Our crews understand load distribution, shear wall positioning, and critical connection details required for inspections. We install all specified connectors, ties, and hold-down systems accurately — because poor structural connections can lead to costly issues later. For projects requiring steel components, our in-house team fabricates and installs structural steel that integrates smoothly with wood framing systems.
In-House Crews, Consistent Quality
Unlike companies that rely on rotating subcontractors, AJ Design & Build operates with dedicated in-house framing crews. This ensures consistent workmanship, clear accountability, and reliable standards on every project. Our team has the experience and attention to detail needed for high-quality framing — including straight walls, level surfaces, square layouts, and correctly sized headers. We also offer framing, insulation, and drywall services under one contract, reducing delays and eliminating coordination issues between multiple trades. With a single point of contact, we streamline the process from framing to paint-ready finishes.
