Case Study
312-Unit Multifamily Development
Project Overview
A High-Density Residential Build in the Heart of San Antonio
The general contractor needed a framing partner who could handle a phased, multi-building schedule without disrupting the broader site timeline. With two 5-story Type III-A structures going up simultaneously, coordination and material reliability were non-negotiable.
Oden Framing Services was brought on during preconstruction — giving the team time to review drawings, flag sequencing conflicts, and lock material pricing before ground broke. That early involvement paid dividends throughout the 14-month build.

How We Delivered
Phase-by-Phase Execution
Preconstruction
- Reviewed structural drawings and coordinated with GC on sequencing
- Identified material lead-time risks early — locked lumber pricing 8 weeks ahead
- Provided detailed framing takeoffs to support budget accuracy
- Attended weekly OAC meetings to align on phased delivery schedule
Construction
- Mobilized four framing crews across two buildings simultaneously
- Maintained a 3-day material buffer on-site to prevent stoppage
- Completed all rough framing inspections on first submission — zero re-inspections
- Coordinated directly with MEP subs to protect framing schedule
Postconstruction
- Punch-walked all units with GC superintendent within 48 hours of framing completion
- Delivered as-built notes to architect for record drawings
- Zero warranty callbacks in the 90-day post-completion window
- Client re-engaged OFS for Phase II of the same development
OFS kept our framing schedule tight even when lumber deliveries got pushed. Their crew leads communicated proactively — we never had to chase them for updates. That kind of reliability is rare.
