Foundation & Framing

The Backbone of Every Home We Build

At Niskanen Construction, we believe the most important parts of your home are the ones you’ll never see again—the footings, the foundation walls, the structural framing that holds everything together. We build these critical elements with the same care and precision we give to every visible detail, because lasting quality starts below the surface.

About This Service

We handle both foundation construction and framing installation in-house to maintain the highest standards from the very beginning of your build. Our experienced team ensures every element is square, level, and built to handle the region’s climate and soil conditions.

No shortcuts. No gaps in accountability. Just solid construction—done right, from the ground up.

What’s Included in Foundation & Framing:

• Soil Prep & Excavation Coordination
  We work with trusted excavation partners to ensure your site is properly prepped and compacted.
• Concrete Footings & Foundation Walls
  We pour foundations built to withstand North Dakota’s freeze-thaw cycles, using reinforced concrete and proper drainage practices.
• Slab or Basement Installation
  Whether you’re building on grade or including a full basement, we construct level, durable foundations tailored to your home’s design.
• Wood or Steel Framing
  We frame homes with an eye for accuracy and integrity—ensuring straight lines, true walls, and proper load transfer.
• Structural Inspection & Code Compliance
  Every stage is built to meet or exceed local codes and reviewed for long-term durability.

Why It Matters

Framing isn’t just about putting up walls—it’s about setting the tone for every stage of your build. A solid frame makes everything easier: windows fit right, drywall sits flat, and finishes look cleaner. With Niskanen Construction, your structure starts on the strongest possible foundation, both literally and professionally.

Built Right. From the Ground Up.

We treat your foundation and framing like it’s our own home—because that’s how we’d want it done.
