The package brings together resources that support the practical knowledge involved in planning, assembling, and coordinating commercial wood-framed construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe included references are \u003cem\u003eCode of Federal Regulations, 29 CFR Part 1926\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003eInternational Building Code, 2015 Edition\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eCarpentry and Building Construction, 2016 Edition\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommercial wood framing involves more than cutting and assembling lumber. Contractors may work with floor joists, beams, girders, posts, wall systems, partitions, headers, openings, roof framing, rafters, trusses, sheathing, blocking, connectors, fasteners, and temporary bracing. Each component must be installed in the proper location and coordinated with the complete building system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFraming contractors also need to understand how drawings, dimensions, elevations, sections, schedules, specifications, and engineering details are translated into field layout. Small errors in measurements or component placement can affect walls, openings, roof systems, mechanical work, finishes, and the work of other trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe OSHA reference supports study of construction safety and hazard control. The International Building Code provides commercial building requirements and code-related information. The carpentry reference supports practical study of measurements, layout, floors, walls, roofs, sheathing, structural supports, tools, materials, and fastening methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a standard book package containing the three listed trade references.

Important study areas include fall protection, ladder and scaffold safety, material handling, commercial construction requirements, wood construction, floor systems, wall framing, roof framing, openings, sheathing, fastening, bracing, structural supports, tools, and materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommercial framing contractors should understand how individual components work together as part of a complete structure. Joists, beams, girders, posts, bearing walls, headers, rafters, trusses, sheathing, connectors, and fasteners must support the intended building configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrade preparation should also include coordination with concrete, masonry, structural steel, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing, fire-protection, and finish work.
