Starting Strong: The Crucial Role of Framing in New Home Construction
At LV Design & Build, we believe that every exceptional new home begins with exceptional home framing. As a premier design-build firm serving Austin, Texas for over 25 years, we understand that the framing phase represents the most critical foundation of your new home construction project. Your home’s frame is literally its backbone—the structural skeleton that supports everything from your walls and floors to your roof and finishes.
With over two decades of experience in new home construction throughout the Austin area, our team has witnessed firsthand how quality framing separates homes that stand the test of time from those that encounter costly structural issues. Our 5-star reviews speak to our commitment to excellence, innovation, and client satisfaction in new home framing, reflecting the peace of mind that comes from precision craftsmanship executed by skilled professionals who understand that we’re not just builders—we’re partners in creating your dream home from the ground up.
What sets our new home framing approach apart is our commitment to both traditional craftsmanship and innovative techniques that meet today’s evolving building codes and energy efficiency standards. We utilize only sustainable materials to guarantee not only the durability of your new construction but also its environmental friendliness. As we move into 2025, stricter fire safety requirements and enhanced energy efficiency standards are shaping how modern new home framing is executed, and our expertise ensures your home exceeds these standards from day one.

Why New Home Framing Is Your Most Important Investment
The framing of your new home is the backbone of the entire structure. It’s not just about erecting walls; it’s about creating the support system for everything else in your new construction project. New home framing provides structural support for the entire building and serves as the framework for insulation, drywall, and other finishing materials. Proper framing is crucial for the stability and longevity of your new home, while precise framing sets the stage for all subsequent phases of construction, from electrical wiring to drywall installation.
Quality wood framing in new construction impacts everything from energy efficiency to aesthetics. Energy-efficient framing significantly reduces long-term energy costs, while advanced framing techniques can result in substantial material savings during construction. These benefits make quality framing one of the most valuable investments in your new home building process.
Well-framed new homes can withstand natural forces such as wind, seismic activity, and heavy snow loads—particularly important in Central Texas where weather patterns can be unpredictable. Poorly framed new construction becomes susceptible to structural failures that can endanger occupants and result in costly repairs before you even move in.
