Behind the Walls: How Modcity Builds Long-Lasting Buildings

Before the finishes shine, the framing has to be flawless. See why the structural framing stage is where Modcity buildings truly take shape.

At Modcity, the framing stage of our new build fourplexes marks a critical milestone where design begins to take physical shape. As Toronto's leading fourplex and sixplex builder, we treat this phase with precision, ensuring the structure is aligned, level, and engineered to support long-term durability.

Framing is more than just erecting walls, it sets the foundation for everything from insulation to drywall to cabinetry. Our team performs rigorous quality checks throughout this process, confirming that all load-bearing elements meet or exceed building code requirements and that everyframing component is correctly installed. This is also confirmed through reports from multiple site inspections by structural engineers.

We pay close attention to safety and finishing quality at this stage. Proper framing reduces future issues like uneven floors, drywall cracks, and door misalignments, concerns that can be costly and disruptive if missed.

As a vertically integrated multiplex builder, we’re deeply involved in every step, from structural planning to on-site execution. By maintaining tight control over framing tolerances and coordination between trades, we ensure that our projects are built to last and delivered with a high-quality finish that aligns with both investor expectations and tenant comfort.

In addition to structural integrity, our framing process also considers mechanical and energy efficiency planning. We coordinate early with HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades and engineers to ensure all rough-ins are precisely integrated into the framed layout, thus inimizing costly rework and maximizing usable living space. This level of foresight is especially important in fourplex and sixplex projects, where space optimization and clean detailing are key to achieving a high standard build out.

At Modcity, every stud, beam, and joist is installed carefully contributing to a streamlined construction process and a superior final product that reflects our commitment to being Toronto’s go-to multiplex construction experts.
