Increase Efficiency, Design Freedom and Sustainability with Light Frame Wood Construction
Light wood framing is highly adaptable to a wide variety of projects, from residential to large commercial developments. Its design flexibility makes it useful for an entire building or any combination of wall, floor/ceiling, and roof applications. It is also easier to adapt to different kinds of soils and site conditions, with the highest strength per weight of any building type. The architectural freedom provided by light wood framing is also unique. Wood is easy to mix and match with other elements in order to reach the level of customization necessary for your project. Offsite manufacturing is also a crucial advantage when looking for flexibility, as products needed for the site can be customized and manufactured in parallel with the jobsite’s progress, helping to meet crucial milestones and deadlines.
