Our 3D modelling provides a new level of coordination for a custom build. This results in the most precise structural analysis which in turn delivers incredibly accurate off-site fabricated components.
Our unique vertically integrated process provides builders a singular solution for custom framing packages. All structural steel, dimensional and engineered lumber are included. As well as all framing components from sill plates to rafters and trusses.
NA Structures is the realization of decades of Off-Site innovation and technical advances in custom home building.
Over the last 17+ years NA Structures has embraced new technologies and software development. Technology, combined with our vast experience as licensed GC’s in Quebec, has allowed us to develop a system that brings a new era to custom home construction.
Our management team has a combined 50+ years experience in custom home building. Our technical team which includes engineers, architects and BIM specialists, has an average tenure of over 11 years.
NA Structures is a leading producer of pre-engineered, off-site structural solutions for leading architects and premiere builders. We reach 14 countries, providing cost effective and value-rich building envelopes that serve to reduce construction time, lower man hours on-site and eliminate waste.
Our coordination service elevates the relationship between the trades, builder and architect.
To achieve this, we work diligently with stakeholders, trades to bring advanced 3D modeling to each project.
Our process starts by translating 2D architectural drawings into 3D models using sophisticated BIM software.
The technical team at NA Structures will supply all shop drawings for our manufactured components.We start by analyzing the architectural drawings for a project as compared to the engineered drawings in order to identify any discrepancies.
Our team builds your structure on a 3D model in order to complete the floor and roof layouts.
It is at this juncture in our process that we focus on special details ie. recessed light placement, elevator details, interior doors, and rough openings in order to complete the layouts.
The NA Structures team will coordinate the rough openings in the architectural plans with the measurements we are given for the windows and doors. Our team starts by building a 3D model to identify any related interference or issues.
From the project plans- both architectural and engineered drawings, we draft a 3D model of the foundation to confirm that no discrepancies exist. If discrepancies are detected, our technical team works to rectify the situation.

While the design of this beautiful desert home was designed to fit with the famous mid-century style of architecture that has became synonymous with Palm Springs, it was engineered with a very modern approach using energy-efficient systems, sustainable building materials AND NA Structures custom, off-site fabricated framing components.

This 40,000 sf convention centre sits on the side of a mountain in Quebec, Canada. Not only did the topography pose challenges for a custom build but our team received the ‘plans’ on the back of a napkin. In the end, our technical team created the architectural and structural plans and took the project from plans, through the build to completion. In Quebec, NA Structures is also a GC.

Currently Under Construction
This beautiful contemporary home in Pennsylvania is currently under construction. As with all our client projects, our team custom designed the loads of framing materials to ensure the site received the components as they would be needed ie. from the floor up. Our logistics, as are our built components, are custom-designed to suit.

This 15,000 sf home on the shores of Lake Michigan has over 130,000 lbs of structural steel in its design. As part of our process, our team made sure the steel and wood would easily work perfectly together so the framing and running of MEP’s would be executed seamlessly on site. Mission accomplished. We were later told that this home was precision framed in 10 months less than was originally estimated by the builder.

This home was designed to honor the incredible views of rolling hills, a pine forest and spring-fed pond while incorporating into the design locally-sourced and innovative materials. An in-house yoga studio with floor to ceiling windows helps to facilitate bringing the beauty of the outdoors in and to extend the peaceful feel of the surrounding countryside, to the indoors.

This 7200 sf home is situated on a small lake in Western Michigan. The structural plans included complex engineering which would have been much more challenging to frame precisely and accurately on-site. With NA Structures systems-based pre-build process and custom, fabricated framing components, our team was able to make a significant difference to the project.

Given the short build season and challenging terrain of this mountain environment, using NA Structures custom, off-site fabricated framing components made perfect sense. Getting enclosed by winter is much less of a race against time than would have been with conventional framing methods.

This 6100 sf home in Colorado was designed to maximize the stunning mountain views. Within the structure is a significant amount of structural steel which was all fabricated in our in-house, AISC certified steel shop. Given the challenging terrain, the fact that the steel was custom fabricated off-site including bolted connections made and nailers already attached resulted in easier erection of the steel on site.

This 6500 sf home on Lake Erie was precision built by a framing team new to using NA Structures. As we offer training to framing crews new to our system before a build PLUS give on-going technical support during the build, crews without experience are ready to go when the first load of the NA Structures components arrive on site.
