APA – The Engineered Wood Association has identified the most common framing and sheathing errors their staff sees in wood-frame construction, and has put together a useful online guide to help builders identify and correct these problems. The resource is organized around five categories of frequently asked questions:
- Why are a building’s walls or roof wavy?
- Why can I feel movement in the floor system? Why does a floor feel “bouncy”?
- Can I put holes in engineered wood beams or I-joists?
- Why are floors noisy?
- What do I do when my jobsite gets wet?
Each topic area includes a summary solution with helpful links to publications that provide more detailed prevention information.
