FrameTec, a Camp Verde-based manufacturer of building components and framing services provider, plans to begin building a Casa Grande plant this summer that will create up to 400 jobs when it’s completed in 2027.
The $150 million facility will be built on 30 acres at the northeast corner of Thornton Road and Ash Avenue and consist of two buildings housing separate plants, each covering 127,000 square feet — the first is scheduled to come online in 2026 and the second the following year.
This is more than twice the size of its first location in Camp Verde, which will open this fall.
FrameTec said in a press release the Casa Grande factory will “have the capacity to manufacture wooden roof/floor trusses and interior/exterior wall panels, and to distribute lumber and building materials that will support the completion of 6,000-7,000 tract homes per year.”
The company said it has patented an automated system to build components for single-family and multifamily homes, hotels or any other wood-framed building in a way that greatly reduces lumber waste.
“Given our housing shortages in Arizona and across the United States, the building construction industry has not been able to keep up with demand and continues to fall behind,” CEO Kyle Brock said. “FrameTec is adding significant capacity and innovation to the building industry while providing homebuilders and general contractors with a ‘one stop shop’ as a turnkey framing provider.”
The facility will produce wooden roof and floor trusses and exterior and interior wall panels for up to 25 homes per day within a 200-mile radius through framing teams to address labor shortages.
