Lumber Drop and Framing

The frame is the skeleton of the home. Frames can be wooden, cement block or other materials based on specific conditions. Typically the framing stage takes one to four weeks and consists of the following:

• The walls begin going up as the first floor in constructed, then work on the second floor system (if applicable) begins, using engineered floor joists.
• Just as work is finishing on the second floor, roof lumber arrive.
• Once the roof lumber arrives the entire roof is framed.

Quality Checkpoint: 

The frame is checked for correct sizing, squareness and workmanship.
