Framing Materials Used In House
20000
This project involved an owner who
did not want to pay the contractor
the full amount he was owed for
materials and labor. The owner felt
the contractor was being wasteful
15000 with materials during construction
of his home.

The contractor argued that the


owner continued to add new ideas
Board Feet

to his home construction that were


not in the original scope of work or
the original drawings.

10000 These charts show the relationship


to the materials the contractor
charged on his invoices vs our
estimate of materials necessary
and the contractors estimate of
materials necessary.

The green bars are the cost of the


invoices charged to the owner. The
5000 blue bars are Construction
Managers, Inc. estimation for
materials necessary. The orange
bar is the contractors estimation of
materials necessary. A standard
20% waste factor is included in
these estimations.

For this particular case standard
2D drawings could not easily
convey the use of framing
materials when building this
home. We created a 3D model
from the original plan to
illustrate several different view
points in a way that was easy to
understand by everyone.

This page shows ceiling joists in


all the rooms that have standard
flat ceilings. The locations
without ceiling joists are where
vaulted ceilings were going in
the home.

3D View
Harper Home Ceiling Joists 06-15-07
This page shows the location
of the vaulted ceilings and an
approximation of the size of
these vaulted ceilings. The
original plans called for a roof
truss system to be used to
create these vaulted ceilings.
The owner was not satisfied
with this construction method
because the peak of the
vaulted ceilings were not high
enough. In order to achieve the
height the owner wanted it was
necessary to build these
ceilings using vaulted ceiling
joists. This method of
construction requires more
materials and labor and
therefore more cost overall.

This is a page from the
engineered shop drawings
provided by the truss
manufacturer. This was the
truss that would have been
used to create the vaulted
ceilings on this home if the
original plans were followed.

Engineered Truss

Drawing
This view of the model shows
the size and orientation of the
truss highlighted in green. As
you can see the truss comes in
one pre-manufactured piece that
can quickly and easily be setup
on site using a crane. This
method takes less time and
materials than framing ceiling
joists and roof joists by hand.
