Framing

The framing is the skeleton of the home. In addition to structural stability, construction quality is also very important. In general, the building inspector will look for code compliance, but not necessarily for construction quality. To meet your company's quality standards, the floor, walls, and roof must be of high quality and providing a sound structure. Quality problems result in unhappy customers, and they don't have quick, easy solutions once the home is built.

Best practices in framing will ensure a quality, stable frame the support the entire home. Understanding and implementing best practices during framing will enable you to identify and correct issues with quality that may not have been identified by code inspectors, to ensure a high quality framing system.
