What is framing work?

Framing work is the process of constructing the structural framework of a building, typically using wood, steel, or engineered lumber. Framers build the skeleton of walls, floors, and roofs, providing support for the entire structure. This stage is crucial as it determines the shape, strength, and stability of the building. Framing workers use blueprints to measure, cut, and assemble framing components, ensuring the structure meets building codes and safety standards.
