Framing and Structural Carpentry

Framing and Structural Carpentry

Framing and Structural Carpentry is the construction of timber members that support a building's floors, walls, or roof. Posts, beams, studs, joists, and rafters form interconnected systems for carrying loads. Framing and Structural Carpentry combines layout, cutting, connections, and assembly, with the arrangement of openings, supports, and bracing determining how the structural framework relates to the building's rooms and enclosure.

Floor, wall, and roof assemblies connect these systems into a structural enclosure, with setting out, connections, and coordination between trades affecting how the separate stages fit together.
