Expert basement framing services in Toronto. Professional wood and steel stud framing for basement finishing and renovations.
Konstruction Group provides professional basement framing services for Toronto homeowners finishing their basements. We frame walls, ceilings, bulkheads, and all structural elements needed to transform your unfinished basement into comfortable living space. Our crews work with both wood and steel stud systems, properly addressing moisture concerns with spray foam or batt insulation, and meeting code requirements unique to below-grade construction.


Basement framing requires special attention to moisture. We leave a small gap between framing and concrete floors to prevent moisture wicking. Perimeter walls are typically framed with an air gap or spray foam insulation against foundation walls for superior moisture protection. After framing, we install drywall to complete your finished basement. We also consider Ontario Building Code requirements for basement bedroom egress windows, ceiling heights, and smoke alarm locations in our framing layout.
We primarily use wood framing for basement finishing projects - it's traditional, cost-effective, and easy for homeowners to modify later. Wood studs are straightforward to work with for electrical and plumbing rough-in, and they accept fasteners easily for mounting fixtures and finishes. We use proper moisture management practices including pressure-treated bottom plates and air gaps from concrete to ensure long-lasting basement framing.

We measure your basement, note utility locations, assess moisture conditions, and discuss your layout goals.

Typical timeline: 1 dayBasement framing labor typically costs $3-$6 per square foot depending on complexity. A 1,000 sq ft basement might cost $3,000-$6,000 for framing labor. Simple open layouts cost less while basements with multiple rooms, bathrooms, and complex bulkheads cost more. Steel stud framing is typically priced similarly to wood.
We primarily use wood framing for basement finishing - it's cost-effective, familiar to all trades, and easy for homeowners to modify later. Wood works well for basements with proper moisture management practices like pressure-treated bottom plates and air gaps from concrete. Steel studs are available if specified, but wood is our standard recommendation.
Basement walls are typically framed 1/2 to 1 inch away from concrete foundation walls to allow for moisture management and insulation. The bottom plate sits on a sill gasket and may be pressure-treated or separated from concrete by foam. This gap prevents moisture wicking into the framing.
Yes, Ontario Building Code requires bedrooms to have egress windows for emergency escape. Windows must have minimum opening dimensions (typically 380mm width, 760mm height, 0.35 sq m total area) and be within reach of the floor. We frame window openings to accommodate egress-compliant windows.
Most basement framing projects take 3-7 days depending on size and complexity. A simple basement with a few rooms might take 3-4 days. Complex layouts with multiple bathrooms, detailed bulkheads, and extensive blocking take longer. We provide specific timelines after assessing your project.
