Additions carry their own structural puzzle: the new frame has to marry an existing roofline, an existing foundation, and often an existing floor level that was never designed to extend. Timberr Framing reads the old structure first, engineered drawings in hand, and confirms bearing points, roof pitch, and floor heights before a single stud goes up, so the new section reads as one building rather than a box bolted onto the side of the old one.
Quotes move with the tie-in complexity: a single-storey rear addition with a simple shed roof prices differently than a second-storey addition that reframes an existing roof or shifts a bearing wall below. Occupied homes add a scheduling layer too, since Timberr sequences the frame to limit exposure and keep the household functional. Ontario Building Code inspections apply at every stage, and the GC, architect, and engineer stay looped in from layout through final close-in.
Scheduling matters as much as structure on an addition: Timberr Framing sequences demolition, tie-in framing, and roof close-in to shrink the window the household is exposed to weather and dust, and coordinates directly with the GC on when mechanical and electrical crews can move in behind the frame.
Timberr Framing also confirms permit conditions with the GC before framing starts, since additions often trigger a separate zoning or setback review that can affect the final layout. Sequencing the tie-in framing before the roof closes in also protects the existing home from weather exposure during the build, an important factor for occupied houses through a GTA winter.
