Framing is the skeleton of the home, and it is what provides the proper support of walls, ceilings, and floors. Without properly installed frames, a building can easily become compromised as it ages. There are many parts to framing, and each are very important to the structure. Frames consist of large wooden or steel beams, studs, plates, and other pieces that support the structure. There must also be space for wires, pipes, and electrical work to stay covered behind walls or ceilings.
