Framing Contractor in Minneapolis

Minneapolis is the largest city in Minnesota and the engine of the Twin Cities metro — home to roughly 430,000 residents and a metro population approaching 3.7 million. Its construction market is dominated by mid- and high-rise multi-family, with downtown North Loop, Uptown, and the U of M corridor seeing the bulk of new wood-over-podium and Type III-A apartment activity over the last decade. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan eliminated single-family-only zoning citywide, which has fueled a sustained pipeline of small- to mid-scale duplex and triplex infill in addition to the larger downtown towers. For framing contractors, that means demand swings between 4- and 6-story Type III-A wood frames and stick-framed two- to four-unit infill builds — both within Edge Enterprise's wheelhouse.

Minneapolis sits in a 42-pound-per-square-foot ground snow load zone with a 115 mph design wind speed under MSBC 1322, so every framing layout we produce here is engineered for both lateral shear and roof load. We're roughly two hours from Minneapolis from our Long Prairie, MN headquarters, which keeps mobilization, punch-list returns, and crew rotation tight. We coordinate with Twin Cities GCs on everything from podium-deck-up framing through interior partitions and finished carpentry, with permitting through the Minneapolis Construction & Inspections department.
