Overview: Advanced framing refers to a variety of framing techniques designed to reduce the amount of lumber used and waste generated in the construction of a wood-framed house. Designing homes on 2-foot modules to make the best use of common sheet good sizes and reduce waste and labor. Spacing wall studs up to 24 inches on-center. Spacing floor joists and roof rafters up to 24 inches on-center. Using two-stud corner framing and inexpensive drywall clips or scrap lumber for drywall backing instead of studs. Eliminating headers in non-load-bearing walls. Using in-line framing in which floor, wall, and roof framing members are vertically in line with one another and loads are transferred directly downward. This document describes the Advanced framing techniques, sometimes called Optimum Value Engineering (OVE).
