Carpentry

Framing, or "rough carpentry," is the basic building skill of new construction and almost every remodeling addition project. This section explains the basics of wood framing.
 

Lumber is by far the most popular construction framing material because it's readily available, easy to work with, and comparatively less expensive than other framing materials. Douglas fir, pine and hemlock are some species frequently used to make framing lumber.
 

Materials such as steel, brick and concrete are also used to frame. These materials can support more weight than wood framing, but are generally more costly and require special equipment and skilled professionals.
