Our Process

How Multi-Family Framing Works

From first call to final walkthrough—here’s what to expect when you work with us.

01

Scope Review & Building Analysis

We review plans for each building type in the project — analyzing unit layouts, fire separations, structural loads, and phasing requirements to develop an efficient framing strategy.

02

Material Staging & Crew Deployment

Lumber, trusses, engineered beams, and hardware are staged by building. Crews are assigned to individual structures so framing progresses building-by-building without bottlenecks.

03

Floor, Wall & Roof Framing

We frame floor systems, load-bearing and partition walls, install prefabricated roof trusses, and apply sheathing — maintaining proper fire separation and sound isolation between units throughout.

04

Inspection & Trade-Ready Handoff

Each building undergoes a thorough framing inspection for structural integrity, fire-rating compliance, and proper blocking. Buildings are turned over trade-ready for MEP rough-ins and inspections.

Why Choose Us

Why Our Multi-Family Framing Stand Out

Multi-family wood framing is one of the most demanding specialties in the construction industry. Every apartment complex, senior living community, or condominium development requires precise coordination between structural engineering, building codes, and construction scheduling. At J.E.T Commercial Wood Framing, multi-family projects are at the core of what we do.

Our team has framed projects ranging from garden-style apartment buildings to large-scale senior living communities like the 108-unit Avanti Legacy Parkview in Killeen. We understand the specific requirements of multi-family construction — from fire-rated wall and floor assemblies between dwelling units to sound isolation details that meet building code standards for Type III and Type V construction.

Based in San Marcos and serving Austin, San Antonio, Killeen, and the entire Central Texas I-35 corridor, we bring the crew depth and project management experience needed to frame multi-family developments on schedule. Whether you're building workforce housing, student apartments near Texas State University, or a senior living community, J.E.T delivers reliable, code-compliant framing from foundation to roofline.

Multi-Story Expertise

We have hands-on experience with platform framing, podium (5-over-1) construction, and garden-style apartments. Our crews understand the unique structural requirements of each building configuration.

Fire-Rated Assemblies

Multi-family construction requires strict fire separation between dwelling units. We frame fire-rated wall and floor assemblies to meet building code requirements for Type III and Type V construction.

Schedule-Driven Production

Apartment projects run on tight schedules with phased occupancy deadlines. We structure our crews to complete buildings in sequence, keeping your leasing timeline on track.

Coordination With All Trades

Multi-family framing requires careful coordination with plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and fire suppression trades. We frame with proper chases, penetrations, and blocking for seamless MEP integration.

Common Questions About
Multi-Family Framing

We frame apartment complexes, senior living and assisted living communities, condominiums, townhomes, student housing, and workforce housing developments. We handle garden-style, mid-rise, and podium (5-over-1) construction types.

Yes. We performed framing and truss work on the Avanti Legacy Parkview, a 108-unit independent senior living community in Killeen, TX. Senior living is one of our active market sectors.

Podium construction (also called 5-over-1) refers to 4-5 stories of wood-framed residential units built on top of a concrete podium level that typically houses parking, retail, or amenity space. It's the most common configuration for urban apartment projects, and we have experience framing these structures.

We frame fire-rated wall and floor assemblies per the structural engineer's specifications and building code requirements. This includes proper stud spacing, blocking, draft stopping, and accommodation for fire-rated drywall and insulation assemblies.

Yes. We regularly manage multi-building apartment projects. Our crew structure allows us to phase framing building-by-building so the project stays on schedule and other trades can follow behind in sequence.
