Construction services in Los Angeles
From poured foundations and precision framing to retaining walls and structural steel — FRAMO carries a build through every structural stage with one licensed crew, engineered right and photographed on real jobsites.
Six structural services, one accountable crew
Every FRAMO service is a named, in-house scope — not a subcontracted hand-off. Compare what each one covers, then dig into the detail on its own page.
Foundations
Poured footings, slabs, and structural foundations engineered to carry the whole build. We handle layout, formwork, rebar, and pour so the structure starts dead-level and to code.
- Post-tension & conventional slabs
- Spread footings & grade beams
- Rebar, formwork & waterproofing
- Engineered to the soils report
New Construction
Ground-up residential and commercial builds managed from permit to frame-out. One accountable crew coordinates the full structural scope so nothing gets lost between trades.
- Permit & plan coordination
- Foundation through frame-out
- Multi-story wood-frame builds
- On-site supervision throughout
Remodeling
Structural remodels and additions that reshape how a space works — removing bearing walls, adding square footage, and reframing to open things up, safely and to code.
- Additions & second stories
- Bearing-wall removal
- Structural reframing
- Load & shear engineering
Framing
Precision wood framing is our namesake craft — dead-square walls, engineered floor systems, and roofs framed to carry the load. Fast, without cutting corners on nailing or shear.
- Wall, floor & roof framing
- Engineered lumber & I-joist
- Shear walls & hold-downs
- Structural sheathing & blocking
Retaining Walls
Shotcrete and CMU retaining walls that hold LA's hillside lots in place. Engineered for the grade and drainage so the slope stays put through every season.
- Shotcrete & CMU walls
- Caisson & grade-beam footings
- Drainage & waterproofing
- Engineered to the grade
Steel Structure
Structural and light-gauge steel — the service most framers don't offer. Moment frames, columns, and beams that carry loads wood can't, integrated into your build by the same crew.
- Structural & light-gauge steel
- Moment frames & columns
- Beam & connection detailing
- Welded & bolted to spec
