What framing work covers
Framing in the Denver metro includes partition walls, new openings, blocking, and structural framing for additions or major remodels. Load-bearing changes need careful planning and often engineering. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates framing and licensed specialty trades for related mechanical openings. Cost is project-specific and depends on span, structure type, and access.
text
Load paths and openings
Removing walls or widening openings can change how loads move through the house. Headers, posts, and foundations must be checked before demo. Temporary shoring may be required during the work.
text
Permits and who coordinates the work
Structural framing and many opening changes typically need building permits and inspections through City and County of Denver Community Planning and Development. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license. Autotelic acts as a municipally licensed Denver general contractor and coordinates licensed specialty trades when the package includes regulated systems.
text
What buyers should prepare
Goals for open layouts, any known prior unpermitted openings, and whether engineering drawings already exist.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a Denver permit to remove a wall?
Usually yes if the wall is load-bearing or the opening changes structure. Confirm with CPD and assess the load path first.
Who handles framing permits and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and related specialty trades. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
When is an engineer needed?
Commonly when loads change beyond simple partition work. CPD may require engineered details for certain scopes.
Can framing start before other permits?
Follow the issued permit sequence. Rough inspections typically happen before insulation and drywall.
What information helps define scope?
Desired layout changes, photos, existing plans if any, and city or county.
