Savannah's House Framing Contractor & Custom Home Builder
The frame decides how straight, how solid, and how long a house stands.
Structural wood framing and rough carpentry — wall framing, floor systems, roof truss setting, and hurricane strapping — for everyday family homes, whole subdivisions, and luxury customs across Savannah, Pooler, Richmond Hill, Bluffton, Hilton Head, and the Lowcountry. We also build complete custom homes from the ground up.
Coastal wind-zone framing
From Framing to Finished Homes. One Standard of Detail.
Every Home. Same Standard.
Most of the 5,000+ homes we've framed are everyday family homes — the neighborhoods where the Savannah metro actually lives. That's our bread and butter. The same crews frame custom residences at communities like The Ford Plantation, and now build complete custom homes of our own — because the standard doesn't change with the square footage: plumb, level, true.
Framing Entire Communities
GMR is the structural framing subcontractor builders rely on to frame whole subdivisions in Pooler, Richmond Hill, and Rincon — crew capacity and scheduling discipline for consistent quality house after house, predictable cycle times, and clean, inspection-ready sites.

House Framing Built for Wind, Water & Salt Air
Coastal Georgia and the South Carolina Lowcountry don't forgive shortcuts. Every structural framing package GMR delivers is engineered for the coast — because here, the code is the floor, not the ceiling.

Hurricane Strapping
A continuous uplift load path — hurricane tie-downs and straps from ridge to foundation, on every build.
Engineered Lumber
Roof trusses, I-joists, LVL and steel beam integration set exactly to the engineer's sealed plans.
Elevated & Flood-Zone
Pilings, elevated floor systems and salt-air-rated connectors for island and waterfront construction.
Serving Savannah & the Lowcountry
Based in Bloomingdale, GA — minutes from anywhere we build. Coastal Georgia and the South Carolina Lowcountry.
Plumb. Level. True.
It's on our logo because it's the whole business. Ten years and more than 5,000 homes in, GMR Construction has built its name on the details others skip — straight walls, square corners, clean sites — and on running the company the same way the crew runs a wall line: plumb, level, and true. Framing that makes every trade after us better, whether it's a single custom estate or the hundredth house in a community.
GMR Construction LLC is a licensed and insured structural framing contractor and custom home builder headquartered in Bloomingdale, Georgia, serving Chatham, Bryan, and Effingham counties in Georgia and Beaufort County in South Carolina — more than 5,000 homes framed in ten years.
Common Questions About House Framing & Our Work
What does a structural framing contractor do?
A structural framing contractor builds the skeleton of a house — the floor systems, walls, and roof structure that every other trade builds on. GMR Construction frames everyday family homes, entire communities, and luxury custom homes across Savannah and the Lowcountry, plus siding, decks, fences, trim carpentry, and complete custom home builds.
Is GMR a framing subcontractor or a general contractor?
Both, depending on the job. For production builders and GCs, GMR works as a structural framing subcontractor with crews that frame whole subdivisions. For homeowners, GMR also builds complete custom homes from the ground up as the builder of record.

Yes. GMR Construction LLC is licensed and insured in both Georgia and South Carolina, carrying general liability and workers’ compensation coverage. Certificates of insurance and a prequalification packet are available to builders on request.
