The structural framing in this stage of construction forms the backbone of the building, giving shape and strength to the entire structure. The wooden studs, beams, and joists are carefully positioned to create a solid framework that will later support the walls, roof, and interior finishes. At this point, everything is still open and visible, allowing builders to make sure the layout is accurate, the load-bearing elements are properly aligned, and the openings for windows and doors are correctly placed. It’s the phase where the building truly starts to take form from a simple plan into a physical structure.
In the area extending outward, the framing shows how the space is being expanded or connected to the outdoors. The beams and floor supports are laid out in a way that ensures stability once the decking and walls are added. Sunlight passing through the open framing highlights the clean geometry of the woodwork and the precision involved in this stage. Though it appears raw and unfinished, this is one of the most important steps in construction, as every part built afterward relies on the strength and accuracy of this wooden frame.
