National Framing: 250+ Projects Built on Trust GCs Don't Hand Out Twice

National Framing has grown to 250+ projects and 10M+ square feet framed across 21+ states by treating every job like the next bid depends on it — because it does. Here's how daily photo reporting, 3D design overlay, and a bilingual OSHA-certified crew culture turned into a track record GCs keep coming back for.

General contractors don't hand a framing package to someone they just met. They hand it to someone who's shown up right, on a hard job, more than once.

National Framing has built that trust with GCs across the multifamily, hospitality, and commercial sectors — 250+ completed projects, 10M+ square feet framed, and 21+ states served, backed by 50+ years of combined leadership experience under founders James Guthrie and Jorge Nolasco.

The numbers aren't the whole story. What earns the repeat business behind them is the system underneath every job:

Daily photo reporting. Nobody on the GC side has to guess what happened on site — it's documented, every day, on every job.

3D design overlay. Problems get caught before framing starts, not after they've turned into a change order.

Bilingual, OSHA-certified crews. No exceptions. Compliance and safety aren't a separate conversation from the work.

Groathouse Construction Inc. has put that system to the test across four projects together, including two 85,000+ square foot Homewood Suites builds — jobs with tough logistics and tough ownership groups.

"National Framing has continued work through the challenges presented... Mr. James Guthrie is always available to assist in any way possible."
— Fred Bronnenberg, VP, Groathouse Construction Inc.

That's the real proof point in this industry. Not a pitch deck — a GC willing to put their name on a quote and come back for the next job.

Stride Digital handles the side of that story that doesn't happen on a job site: making sure the track record above is easy to find before the next bid invite goes out.
