Wood frame structures are one of the most common systems to frame multi-family structures, but it often is unclear how to go about meeting the codes and standards for special inspections, firestopping and sound building envelopes. If not followed, many of the problems these structures face after construction are costly—and preventable if you know what to look for during the design and construction phases.
Take a look behind the scenes at the issues special inspectors and building envelope experts can spot in wood frame structures on our recorded webinar with our Building and Structure Science experts, Jason Hanlon, PE, MSLE and Jack Rasmussen, NCARB, AIA, FMPC. Jason and Jack share best practices to help prevent some of the costly mistakes they have encountered in the field with wood frame structures.
