#027: Rising Lumber Costs - Consider Advanced Framing The cost of lumber in the spring of 2020 is skyrocketing, many people are canceling, postponing or rethinking their projects. I feel this is an opportunity to re-think the way we build and implement advanced framing strategies. Advanced framing is nothing new, it has been around for decades, but there are still some people who are skeptical. Maybe they remember some poorly built houses in the 60's or maybe they are just ingrained with the thinking that the way they have been doing things for 20 years is the best method.  Utilizing advanced framing methods can potentially eliminate up to 30% of the total lumber material for a project, this can result in some significant cost savings and as a benefit the added insulation will result in lower heating and cooling bills.  visit www.n3architecture.com for more information visit www.n3architecture.com/resources to join the EntreArchitect community. email: [email protected] with any questions Intro music by: Purple Planet Music.
