Framing is a critical stage in the construction process, during which the structural skeleton of a building is constructed.
The framing defines the shape and dimensions of a structure, providing support for the walls, floors, and roof.

Why is framing so important?
Framing is an important process for several reasons:
- Structural integrity: The framing provides the primary structure that supports the weight of the building, its components, and all external loads such as wind, snow, and dead loads. A properly framed building ensures the structural integrity of the entire construction project, making it strong and stable.
- Accuracy of dimensions: The framing process establishes the overall dimensions and layout of the building. Proper framing ensures that the building’s dimensions are accurate and consistent, minimizing the need for adjustments or corrections during subsequent stages of construction.
- Alignment and plumb: The framing must be erected with precision to ensure that all components are aligned and plumb. This is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the building and for ensuring that walls, doors, and windows are installed correctly and function as intended.
- Support for finishes and systems: The framing provides a base for the installation of walls, ceilings, and roofs, as well as mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Proper framing ensures that these components are securely supported and adequately protected.
- Energy efficiency: The framing’s quality and insulation properties contribute to the building’s energy efficiency. Properly framed walls, floors, and roofs with adequate insulation can help minimize heat transfer, reducing energy consumption and costs.
- Resistance to natural hazards: In regions prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, or heavy snowfall, proper framing can help improve the building’s resistance to these events. For example, earthquake-resistant framing includes details such as diagonal bracing and anchorage to the foundation.
Wood Framing / Timber Framing, Steel Framing… What’s the difference?
Timber framing, wood framing, and steel framing are three different methods we use in Tethrd to provide the structural support in construction projects. Each system has its unique characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. The choice of the framing system depends on factors such as the building's size, design, intended use, location, and budget.
