In-House Wood Framing

In-House Wood Framing

The wood framing industry has outdated processes and lacks the teamwork and collaboration clients need. Our wood framing department aims to change this by assessing and planning projects in detail, identifying value-adds, and managing the wood framing. They collaborate with the entire team, key value-added suppliers, and subcontractors to ensure a constructible design and an efficient, cost-effective construction plan. This in-house control of the framing process ensures critical elements work with all trades that rely on structural framing and meets your budget, safety standards, and schedule.

How we do it

Plan detail, product, and specification review

We provide a preliminary truss design to uncover design and constructability issues, avoid simplistic substitutions, and offer cost-effective alternates.

In-House Estimating

In-house labor and material takeoffs and estimates to set a budget and provide design alternates that result in realistic budgets.

In-house submittal review

Truss, hold-down, and steel shop drawings are reviewed for conformance and to avoid conflict with MEP. This procedure ensures that all trades can work without the need for tear-out and replacement.

On-Site Supervision

Our on-site framing superintendent is briefed throughout the design process and is a trained, experienced carpenter who manages all material and labor to the contract intent.

What Our Clients Say

Navigating supply chain issues, labor shortages

"We all know the incredible headwinds the construction industry has been facing for the last couple of years with supply chain issues, labor shortages, lack of qualified workers, and construction pricing escalations, yet your team hit those head-on, and managed the project very effectively and with integrity. "

Excellent Implementation of Technology

(Your use and implementation of) Procore has been above average. You embed links within the OAC meeting minutes, making it much faster for me to find the document referenced within the meeting minute. Your (Procore) training for the full A/E team, I would encourage Pinkard to do on every project. Pinkard has done a great job exceeding expectations and being a partner throughout this project.

Exceeding Expectations

Pinkard has done a great job exceeding expectations and doing a great job being a partner throughout this project.

Near perfect response

"I don't expect perfection, I just expect a near-perfect response; and that's what we got from Pinkard."

On-time and on-budget

"I just wanted to take a minute to express my sincere appreciation for the great job your team did regarding the construction of Carraway. I know our team thoroughly enjoyed working with your team, and in the end, the project was delivered on time and on budget, but most importantly with the level of quality that we were hoping to obtain. "

Great constructability review

"Pinkard was good with the constructability review. Preconstruction. When given the opportunity, Pinkard did a great job with VE-type stuff, constructability, and asking some hard questions. I can remember the mechanical engineer getting grilled pretty well; somebody at Pinkard picked up that there were some issues with the ductwork."
