From The Build Show.

Jake Bruton discusses the history and benefits of advanced framing, specifically focusing on the debate between 16 inches on center and 24 inches on center. He explains how the Department of Housing initially promoted advanced framing to make housing more affordable by using less lumber and more insulation. However, he notes that while the code allows for 24 inches on center framing, practical considerations often lead to a mix of both 16 and 24 inch spacing. Jake discusses various aspects of framing, such as subfloor assembly, wall stud spacing, top plates, headers, and corner framing, highlighting the push and pull between structural stability and insulation efficiency. He also touches on considerations for ceiling and roof framing, emphasizing the use of raised heel trusses and energy rooms for increased insulation. Jake concludes by discussing the benefits of using SPAX for structural connections on the job site. Overall, Jake advocates for a thoughtful approach to framing that combines code compliance with practical considerations for a more efficient and cost-effective build.
