Construction Framing

Framing is the foundation upon which every structure is built. The framing stage determines the project's integrity, durability, and overall design in a compact residential or multi-story commercial building. This critical process provides the skeletal support that shapes the structure and enables the installation of essential systems like electrical wiring, plumbing, and insulation.

Poorly executed framing can compromise safety, impact timelines, and lead to costly repairs. Therefore, the framing phase is the most fundamental step in any construction project and demands technical expertise, precision, and structural foresight.

At Doug Pruett Construction Company, we offer industry-leading construction framing services to clients throughout the Annapolis area and the surrounding regions of Maryland. Our company has been a trusted name in complete home construction, additions, extensions, and comprehensive remodeling projects. Each of these ventures requires framing work, and our team ensures precision and code compliance in every structure.

Our Approach to Framing Projects

Our framing services support lasting quality and functional excellence from the ground up in new builds or additions and remodels, and the things we focus on include the following:

Site-Specific Planning and Layout - Our framing process begins with an in-depth site analysis to evaluate the foundation, soil condition, and project design. We collaborate closely with architects and structural engineers to ensure that every load-bearing wall, joist, and beam is positioned purposefully and accurately. The layout process is aligned with blueprints and regulatory requirements, providing a streamlined workflow and reducing the risk of downstream construction issues.
Quality Materials and Skilled Craftsmanship - Framing is only as strong as the materials used and the hands that assemble it. We use premium-grade lumber and engineered wood products that meet or exceed industry standards. Our in-house framing crews are experienced professionals who execute precise cuts, secure connections, and consistent spacing to create a stable, square, and level framework. This attention to structure ensures ease during future installations like drywall, cabinetry, and flooring.
Integration with Broader Construction Goals – We coordinate every framing project as part of a larger construction schedule. Whether the work is part of a full-home build or a strategic extension, our framing services are managed with plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and other trades. This integration minimizes rework, supports efficient timelines, and guarantees a seamless transition from one construction phase to the next.
