Metal Framing Contractor Ajax — Licensed, Insured & 5-Star Rated

Metal framing pricing in Ajax is based on project type, total square footage, and structural complexity. Light gauge steel framing for commercial interior partitions is typically quoted by the linear foot of wall. Multi-unit residential and ICI projects are priced by total scope based on your drawings.

Steel framing generally costs more per square foot than wood framing — but provides non-combustible construction, dimensional stability, and code compliance advantages that most commercial and multi-unit projects require.

Metal framing uses light gauge steel studs and track instead of dimensional lumber. The key advantages are fire resistance — steel is non-combustible, making it required or preferred for commercial, ICI, and multi-unit residential projects in Ontario — and dimensional stability, meaning steel will not warp, shrink, or expand with moisture changes.

Wood framing remains common for single-family residential. Metal framing is standard for commercial, institutional, and larger residential construction.

Timberr Framing offers both — contact us to discuss which suits your project. See our general framing services for wood framing options.

We carry $5M in liability insurance, are registered with WSIB, and operate in full compliance with Ontario Building Code on every project. Licensing and insurance documentation is available on request.

Yes. Many metal framing projects — particularly ICI, commercial, and multi-unit residential builds — require structural engineer coordination, shop drawing review, and documented compliance.

Timberr Framing coordinates directly with engineers and GCs throughout the project. We know what is required for inspections and approvals and take ownership of that coordination.

Timeline varies by scope and complexity. A standard commercial interior partition build-out may take a few days to two weeks. A full metal frame for a multi-unit residential or ICI project takes significantly longer and is scheduled in phases coordinated with the overall construction timeline.

Timberr Framing provides a clear schedule during the quoting process and maintains regular communication so you always know the status.

Yes — and it is becoming standard for many residential project types in Ajax. Metal framing is required for multi-unit residential projects where Ontario Building Code demands non-combustible construction. It is also selected for custom residential builds where the homeowner or architect values steel's dimensional stability and strength.

Timberr Framing provides metal framing for residential projects of all sizes. For traditional wood-frame residential work, see our custom home framing and general framing contractor services.

Yes. We install metal framing for both exterior load-bearing walls and interior non-load-bearing partitions. Exterior metal framing is typically structural and requires engineering, while interior partition framing is used for tenant build-outs, office layouts, and institutional space planning.

Both are built to spec and inspection-ready.

In most cases, yes. Any new construction, structural modification, or commercial build-out requires a building permit from the Town of Ajax before framing begins. This applies to both new metal frame structures and interior partition work in commercial and institutional buildings.

As a licensed metal framing contractor, Timberr Framing builds every project to Ontario Building Code and ensures all work is inspection-ready at handoff. Permits are typically handled by the GC or property owner — we frame to the exact specs your permit drawings require.

Focus on three things: licensing, insurance, and commercial experience.

Metal framing is not the same as general carpentry. You need a contractor who understands light gauge steel tolerances, structural engineer coordination, shop drawing review, and the tight scheduling demands of commercial and multi-unit construction.

Ask for proof of insurance. Ask about their experience with projects like yours. And ask whether they deliver inspection-ready work — because if they don't, your project timeline pays the price.

Timberr Framing provides all documentation on request. Our 5.0 Google and 5.0 HomeStars ratings reflect the standard we hold ourselves to.
