Wood Framing

Garden, wrap and podium framing, done right the first time

Lowder Construction frames commercial multifamily wood projects for general contractors across the Southeast: hotels, apartment communities and medical buildings, from garden-style sites to multi-story wraps and wood frame over concrete podium. Skilled crews, quality craftsmanship and production you can schedule around.

Garden, wrap and podium

Multi-building garden communities, courtyard wraps and framing over podium, on open sites and tight urban blocks.

Quality craftsmanship

Straight, plumb and square, checked building by building before the next trade.

Skilled crews that travel

Experienced framing crews that mobilize to your site and stay through the project.

Multifamily framing is a production trade, and we run it that way. Crews are sequenced by building so layout, wall framing, floor systems, roof trusses and sheathing move in a rhythm the general contractor can plan around. Production standards are set in pre-construction and tracked by the superintendent every day, and quality is checked at each stage rather than at the end, so the work is right the first time and the trades behind us are never waiting on a fix.

Framing Scope

Built to a Standard, Building After Building

Repetition is where craftsmanship shows. On a multi-building community or a large wrap, the first building sets the standard and every building after it is held to the same one. Framing walks, inspections and punch lists happen by building, with the superintendent and the project manager documenting each one, so the general contractor sees consistent work from the first slab to the last roof.

Sites That Demand Precision

We frame over concrete podiums, around open courtyards and on tight urban sites where storage and staging room are limited, and our crews work from coastal towns to the Tennessee mountains. Each site gets a sequence and a logistics plan built for it, not a template.

What general contractors get from Lowder framing:

  • Crews that travel and stay through the project
  • Production rates you can schedule the other trades around
  • Framing, sheathing and Sub-Fascia from one team
  • An OSHA 30 superintendent on site every day
