Have you ever wished SBC Magazine had a brief summary of the great stuff inside each issue? Your wish has been granted! This year we are giving Jess Lohse (Rocky Mountain Truss) an advanced copy of the magazine each month and asking him to write down his thoughts about what he reads. Thanks, Jess, for giving us your CM perspective!
- Everyone buying raw materials for structural components or conventional framing applications is purchasing design values and related properties for use in engineering equations to resist loads for a given load path.
- It is not well known that lumber design values are global in nature and not specific to the piece of lumber being used.
- Design values written into the building code become the law, whether they are scientifically correct or not.
- If the law is treated forthrightly as written, professional engineers have great value in the market.
“Think more about the problems customers face and figure out a way you can solve it by improving upon what you already produce.”
- The National Framers Council (NFC) was formed as a council of SBCA to give framers a national organization that will focus on best practices in jobsite safety and building material installation.
- NFC’s goal is for each framer to leave the jobsite every day in the same health as when they arrived.
- The more framers and CMs interact, the more we will be able to identify framing and component implementation issues in the field and find solutions where both industries win.
