Timber and light steel frame systems offer fast, lighter alternatives to masonry for housing and commercial buildings across the continent, but they demand different detailing and supervision. This course introduces the design intent, materials and construction of framed buildings. It focuses on the connections, cladding, insulation and moisture control that determine whether framed buildings perform well over time.
Site supervisors, foremen, project managers, building inspectors and contractors adopting framed building systems.
