1. Light wood framing is sensitive to deviations in as-built conditions from the designed and detailed conditions. Ensure the load path on the drawings is maintained at all conditions through coordinated plans and fundamentally sound detailing. 2. Avoid misaligned load bearing walls-accumulate loads throughout wall stacks 3.

Wall framing forms the vertical skeleton of a light wood frame construction, defining the layout of rooms and supporting the roof or upper floors. The process begins with the construction of wall sections on the subfloor, following the layout specified in the building plan.

Posts and timbers are a minimum of 5” thick, and the width does not exceed the thickness by more than 2 inches. Decking is 2” to 4” thick and loaded in the weak axis of bending for a roof, floor, or wall surface. Wood used in light-frame residential construction takes the form of dimension lumber.
Light-frame construction is often used for retail, healthcare, school, and commercial buildings. Increasingly, elements of light-frame buildings are fabricated off site and assembled on the job. Wood is well-suited to off-site prefabrication, offering cost, quality, and scheduling advantages.
