Wall, Floor and Roof Framing
Framing can be one of the most challenging areas of the Ontario Building Code (OBC), especially when interpreting complex scenarios. This workshop, updated for the 2024 OBC, focuses on helping building inspectors and plans examiners navigate the nuances of framing compliance. We’ll explore how framing details align with specific Code articles and highlight when professional design is needed.
Through detailed discussions, diagrams, physical models, and interactive activities, this workshop empowers participants to confidently assess framing compliance in real-world scenarios.
