Birch Craft Construction is seeking an experienced and reliable Framing Subcontractor to partner with us on a variety of residential projects throughout Washtenaw County and the surrounding Michigan area.

We’re looking for a subcontractor capable of handling advanced framing projects such as additions, remodel tie-ins, garages, and — as the partnership grows — potentially full home builds.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of modern framing techniques, structural connections, and code-compliant construction methods. This position requires someone who can operate independently, manage a crew efficiently, and deliver high-quality work with minimal oversight.

Birch Craft Construction maintains a professional and organized approach on every job site. We value subcontractors who share our commitment to communication, craftsmanship, and client satisfaction.
