Residential House Framing Sheet 2A, in PDF

Residential House Framing Sheet 2B, in PDF

A couple in the Southeast US started building their own residential addition, and ran out of time to get it closed in.  They found a framing contractor with the right credentials.  He needed a residential house framing plan for his crew to follow.

These are the drawings for that residential house  framing plan, ten drawings in all.  Reference is made to Sheet 1A and 1B standards which relate to those points excerpted and adapted from our "Home Design Standards-Home Building Standards" and are therein made specific to this job.

There are several design and drafting aspects to these residential house framing plan sheets to commend them to your attention.

The 16'x40' addition itself is partially on piers, emerging at L2 of a split.  The floor joist framing – end joists, head joists, ledger, and common joists are laid out as a very large deck would be laid out.

bullet

The odd framing at the Northeast corner is to help support a kitchen extension of 3'x12' northward - wall lines included.

Note please the extents to which the AG went to layout a secure pair of raised ceilings, one centered before the zero-clearance fireplace, one center in the bedroom — both centered on finished room dimensions, though we're dealing with roughed.

bullet

See how the fireplace and chase must be supported most unusually because it is a decklike floor structure, and we cannot easily rely on a cantilevered structure, i.e., by severing the 3-2"x10" head joists.

bullet

The South wall is extensively opened for windows and doors, requiring additional bracing to stabilize it over time — particularly considering the opening and closing of those three big French doors (which will eventually open onto a large exterior deck with spa, planters, and grill.

The broad application of keys eliminates what would have been a welter of notes and leaders obscuring clear visual reference to the drawings themselves.
