IBC-compliant wood framing for retail, office, mixed-use, and tenant improvement projects — coordinated with your schedule, your trades, and your inspector.
Request a BidOn a commercial build, framing sits on the critical path. If the framing sub falls behind, misreads the rated-assembly details, or fails inspection, every trade behind them stalls — and the GC eats the schedule. Arm & Hammer Framers works commercial scopes with the discipline general contractors expect: we work from IBC-compliant stamped drawings, sequence around concrete, steel, and MEP trades, and stage every phase for a clean inspection.
Shopping centers, tenant improvements, office build-outs, and mixed-use structures — we've framed them across the Phoenix metro, licensed and bonded under Arizona ROC #324879.
Corridor widths tie to ADA clearances. Door rough openings tie to rated frames. Ceiling heights tie to suspended grid and mechanical above. Storefront rough openings tie to glass that's already ordered. Commercial framing doesn't forgive the 3/8-inch bow a residential wall absorbs — which is why GCs who've been burned by residential crews on TI work call a framer that holds line, plumb, and dimension.
We hold those tolerances across every Arizona market we serve: Phoenix West Valley retail and flex space, East Valley and Scottsdale tenant improvements and mixed-use work, Tucson commercial shells, and high-country hospitality projects in Prescott and Flagstaff.
Plan-check comments on commercial framing usually hinge on header sizing, fire-blocking continuity, and rated-assembly documentation. A framing contractor's pre-submittal review catches constructibility issues that would otherwise come back as corrections after permit issuance — when they cost real schedule.
Commercial work runs tighter. Corridor widths, door rough openings, and ceiling heights are tied to ADA clearances, fire-rated assembly depths, and storefront systems. Every dimension ties to something another trade already ordered or installed.
Yes. We're accustomed to sequencing with structural steel, concrete, mechanical rough-in, and electrical on active commercial sites. Clear communication with the GC's superintendent and a documented RFI process keeps our scope off the critical path.
Yes. We frame rated demising walls, corridor assemblies, and shaft walls to the listed assembly details, holding the cavity depths and blocking the drawings call for, so the rated assembly inspects and certifies correctly.
