Frame Construction
Frame construction is a building method that uses a skeleton of vertical and horizontal members, typically made from wood or metal, to support the structure. This framework allows for the easy addition of walls, roofs, and floors, making it a popular choice for residential and commercial buildings. The frame provides strength and stability while allowing for flexibility in design.
In frame construction, the most common components are studs, joists, and rafters. Studs are vertical members that form the walls, while joists support the floors, and rafters create the roof structure. This technique is efficient and cost-effective, enabling quicker construction times compared to other methods.
