CNBT 1415 Conventional Wall Systems

Students learn how to frame a building by actually constructing a 16 x 32 one-bedroom efficiency building (see a sample floor plan - PDF). They construct all parts of the frame for a pier and beam structure, including the subfloor, all the walls, door and window headers and openings and add a roof.
