The frame is the skeleton of your home. Frames can be wooden, cement block or other materials based on specific conditions. The framing stage usually takes one to four weeks, and consists of the following:

• The walls start going up on the first day of frame start, as the first floor is constructed.
• Once the first-floor walls are up, work starts on the second-floor system (if applicable), using engineered floor joists.
• Roof trusses arrive at the homesite just as work is finished on the second floor.
• Once the roof trusses are in place, the entire roof is installed.

Quality Checkpoint:

• During the framing stage, there are three separate checkpoints: the frame of the house is checked for correct sizing, squareness and workmanship.
