The Homeowner's Guide to LA Structural Framing
When embarking on a custom home build or a major renovation in Los Angeles, framing is the "skeleton" of your home. If the bones are weak, cosmetic finishes—drywall, tile, paint—will eventually fail. As a licensed B-General Building Contractor, Gaga US Construction prioritizes structural integrity above all else.
Structural Integrity
We plan framing to withstand LA's seismic activity and live loads, ensuring your building meets safety codes.
Material Efficiency
We optimize material usage like Douglas Fir No. 1 to minimize waste and keep your project eco-friendly.
Customization
From intricate detailing to curved walls, we bring diverse architectural styles to life.
Time & Labor Savings
Our professionals work efficiently, adhering to strict schedules to minimize construction delays.
Navigating LADBS Inspections
The Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) has strict codes. A "Rough Framing Inspection" is required before any insulation can be installed.
For structural members, we exclusively use Douglas Fir No. 1 or Better. Unlike "Utility Grade", No. 1 lumber has fewer knots and superior strength.
We utilize premium Simpson Strong-Tie hardware to create a continuous load path, preventing the building from racking during tremors.
We pre-inspect our own work to ensure zero delays.
