Framing a House

Framing a house involves constructing the skeleton of a building, which provides structural support and shapes the overall design. This process typically includes setting up the floor, walls, and roof systems using materials like wood or steel. Accurate measurements and cuts are crucial to ensure stability and alignment.

The framing stage is essential as it lays the groundwork for other construction phases, such as installing electrical, plumbing, and insulation systems. Proper planning and execution during framing can prevent future issues and ensure the building is safe and durable.
