Custom homes
Floor systems, walls, roof structures and the architectural timber that ends up visible in the finished house.
For general contractors & builders
The framing crew that holds your date
A regional subcontractor,
not a remodeler with a truck
Outdoor Construction Creations is a subcontractor crew first. Structural and architectural framing in wood and light-gauge metal, on custom homes, multi-family, renovations and tenant improvements — plus the concrete underneath it and the haul-off after it.
Most of our work comes through builders rather than direct from homeowners, so we are used to working to somebody else's schedule, somebody else's plan set and somebody else's superintendent.
If you have been let down by a framer this year, you already know what that costs. That is the problem we are trying to be the answer to.
What we take on
The jobs we are built for
Multi-family
Repetitive framing where the schedule is the whole job and the details have to be identical on every unit.
Tenant improvements
Light-gauge metal and wood on commercial fit-outs, working around whoever else is in the building.
Renovations & additions
Structural work tied into an existing building, where nothing is square and the plan meets reality on site.
Why GCs keep us on
What you actually need from a sub
Not a brochure. Four things that decide whether your job runs.
One sub instead of three
We self-perform framing, concrete and the haul-off. That is three trades you are not sequencing, three sets of numbers you are not chasing, and nobody blaming the crew before them.
We build to your plan set
We work off your drawings and flag what will not build before it is framed, not after. A question during takeoff is cheaper than a change order in week three.
Framing is the critical path
Everything behind us moves when we slip. We staff the job to hit the date we gave you, and tell you early on the rare occasion that is at risk.
Paperwork is not a fight
Licensed and insured, with a certificate of insurance, W-9 and lien waivers available on request. Ask and we send them the same day.

Trade questions
The things GCs actually ask
Wood or metal?
Both, structural and architectural. Light-gauge metal on commercial and multi-family, wood on residential, and both on the same job where the plans call for it.
Do you self-perform, or broker it out?
We self-perform. The crew on your job works for us, which is why we can answer for the schedule and the quality.
Do you take on concrete as well as framing?
Yes, and a lot of GCs use us for both. Foundations and slabs to the engineer's drawings, and we live with the result because we frame on top of it.
What paperwork do you carry?
General liability insurance, a W-9, and lien waivers on request. Ask for a certificate of insurance naming you and we will send it.
Where do you travel?
Dallas and Fort Worth as standard, out to Possum Kingdom and Broken Bow regularly. Ask about anything further; distance is a scheduling question, not a no.
How do we start?
Send a plan set to 5staroutdoorcc@gmail.com, or call and describe the job. Either gets you a number.
