Drawing Framing Plans

A framing plan is a plan that is a blueprint to display the locations, materials (like timber, steel), spacings, sizes, framing members, and the number of structural components required to construct the house. Drawing the joists and double framing in such a position so that they can be occupied in the completed building. There is no requirement for joist dimensions at each position. Perpendicular to the joist, the drawing of bridges is made and noted as “3-2” x 3 bridgings. Wall framing plans depict the position and methodology of framing openings and heights of the ceiling so that studs and posts can be cut out. As it is a vertical plane view, technically a wall framing plan is​ not a plan.
