Beyond the “Bid” – A Partnership in Performance.

In the shell stage, the smallest misalignment between trades creates the largest downstream delays. Building Principles operates as a multi-scope trade partner to eliminate the “finger-pointing” between concrete, masonry, and framing crews. We take ownership of the structural skeleton, ensuring every transition is tight and every dimension is verified.
Structural Concrete & Foundation Systems

We specialize in the critical transition from ground to vertical shell. While we do not perform piling, we are experts at integrating with deep foundation systems to provide a level, square, and structurally sound base for the building.

The Difference: We ensure anchor bolt precision and reinforcement layouts that eliminate layout conflicts for the masonry and framing trades that follow.

Key Capabilities: Grade Beams, Structural Slabs-on-Grade (SOG), Elevated Podium Slabs, and Cast-in-Place Tie Beams.

Masonry & CMU Systems

We treat CMU work as a precision trade, focusing on the structural integrity and vertical accuracy of the wall assembly.

The Difference: Disciplined cell-grouting protocols and clean rough-openings that ensure window and door installers can work without field-modifying our walls.

Key Capabilities: Load-Bearing CMU Walls, Architectural Masonry, and Integrated Lintel & Beam Systems.

Rough Carpentry & Structural Integration

We manage the complex load paths of the building’s skeleton. From traditional framing to the installation of engineered systems, we ensure structural continuity from the foundation to the roofline

The Difference: We proactively review structural hardware, truss layouts, and steel-to-wood connections during the bid phase to catch discrepancies before they reach the field.

Key Capabilities: Roof Truss Systems, Heavy Timber & Glulam, Conventional Wood Framing, and HSS (Hollow Structural Section) Base Plates and Columns.

The “Integrated Shell” Advantage

One Partner. No Scope Gaps. When you bundle Concrete, Masonry, and Rough Carpentry with Building Principles, you eliminate the “finger-pointing” that usually happens at the transition points. We take full responsibility for the structural skeleton, ensuring every embed is cast, every wall is plumb, and every roof truss is set exactly where the engineering demands.
