Professional back framing services in Toronto. Framing around bulkheads, pipes, posts, and decorative ceilings including waffle, tray, and dropped ceilings.
Konstruction Group provides professional back framing services for Toronto builders and general contractors. Back framing refers to secondary framing work done after the main structural framing is complete - bulkheads around ductwork, soffits, decorative ceiling treatments, and blocking for fixtures. Our crews handle these detail-oriented tasks with precision, ensuring smooth surfaces for drywall and proper backing for everything that gets mounted to walls and ceilings. We coordinate with your mechanical and electrical trades to complete this work efficiently, and can add soundproofing in ceiling assemblies.


Quality back framing is often what separates professional construction from amateur work. Smooth, straight bulkheads, properly sized soffits, and adequate blocking throughout make the difference between finishes that look great and those that reveal every imperfection. We treat back framing with the same precision as structural work because it shows in the finished product.
Blocking installed during framing provides solid attachment points for items that can't be anchored to drywall alone. We coordinate with drawings and trade partners to install blocking for: kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, grab bars, handrails, TV mounts, heavy mirrors, HVAC equipment, and electrical panels. Proper blocking now prevents costly callbacks later.
Custom ceiling treatments add architectural interest and value to homes. We frame tray ceilings, coffered ceilings, barrel vaults, and other ceiling details using precise layout techniques. Our framing creates the geometry that drywallers cover, so accuracy at this stage is essential for the finished appearance.

We review architectural and mechanical drawings to understand all bulkhead, soffit, and blocking requirements.

Typical timeline: 1 dayBack framing refers to framing work done after the main structural walls and ceilings are in place. It includes bulkheads around ducts and beams, soffits, decorative ceiling framing, and blocking for fixtures. This secondary framing creates smooth enclosures and solid attachment points throughout the building.
Back framing is typically done after rough-in of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. This allows bulkheads and soffits to be properly sized around final duct positions and pipe locations. Blocking can be installed during initial framing or added during back framing depending on project sequencing.
Bulkhead framing costs vary by linear footage and complexity. Simple straight bulkheads might cost $15-$30 per linear foot. Complex shapes, multiple levels, or numerous bulkheads increase costs. We provide quotes based on your specific layout and drawings.
Upper kitchen cabinets require solid blocking at typical hanging heights (usually 54 inches to cabinet bottom). Blocking should span between studs and be solidly fastened. We install blocking at standard heights or as specified in your cabinet drawings.
Yes, we frame coffered ceilings and other decorative ceiling treatments. These require careful layout and level framing to create the grid pattern of beams and recessed panels. We work from architectural drawings or can help design the coffering based on room proportions.
