New Construction Capabilities
Structural wood framing, rain-screen building envelopes, and commercial tenant build-outs compliant with Oregon Structural Specialty Code.
Residential Structural Framing & Engineered Assemblies
Precision structural wood framing for custom homes, additions, and accessory dwellings built to Oregon Structural Specialty Code (OSSC). We assemble engineered shear walls, heavy-duty floor joists, laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beams, and pre-engineered roof trusses.
Engineering Specifications:
- Engineered LVL, PSL & glulam load-bearing beam packages
- Engineered shear wall nailing assemblies (8d common @ 3" edge / 6" field)
- Simpson Strong-Tie HDU hold-downs & foundation anchor bolting
- Advanced framing techniques with continuous exterior insulation cavities
- Pre-engineered scissor trusses, rafters & cathedral ceiling systems
Rain-Screen Weatherization & Building Envelopes
In the wet Pacific Northwest climate, exterior envelope failure is the leading cause of structural rot. We integrate comprehensive rain-screen drainage planes behind James Hardie fiber-cement and cedar siding, allowing incidental moisture to drain away safely.
Engineering Specifications:
- Benjamin Obdyke Slicker HP or HydroGap rain-screen drainage gap system
- James Hardie fiber-cement lap & board-and-batten siding installations
- Self-adhered window flashing membranes & sill pan drainage wraps
- Engineered foundation stem wall waterproofing & perimeter drain tile
- Soffit intake airflow clearing & continuous exterior vapor control
Blueprint Coordination, Commercial TI & Code Sign-Off
Building to exact architectural and engineering specifications. We manage structural calculations, city and county plan check reviews, foundation inspections, framing walkthroughs, and commercial tenant improvement (TI) build-outs.
Engineering Specifications:
- Full Oregon Residential & Structural Specialty Code compliance
- Commercial tenant improvements, metal stud framing & ADA retrofits
- Continuous inspection management with Washington & Multnomah counties
- Foundation rebar cage inspection & concrete pour supervision
- Final certificate of occupancy (CO) turnkey close-out
Construction & Framing FAQs
Technical specifications on seismic tie-downs, rain-screen weather barriers, and county inspection protocols.
How does Oregon seismic code impact structural framing?
Oregon sits in a high-seismic zone (Cascadia subduction zone). We install Simpson Strong-Tie anchor bolts embedded a minimum of 7 inches into concrete footings, structural hold-downs (HDU/STHD series) at shear wall ends, and rigid strapping between foundation, floor joists, wall plates, and roof rafters to provide a continuous load path.
Why is a rain-screen siding system essential in western Oregon?
Oregon experiences wind-driven rain that penetrates through siding seams. A rain-screen system creates an intentional 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch ventilated drainage cavity between the water-resistive barrier and the siding. This air gap allows trapped water to drain down and out while allowing the back of the siding to dry, preventing wall cavity dry rot.
