This course covers the load estimating procedures for the purposes of sizing any framing member within a residential building as required to meet the requirements found in the current North Carolina Residential Building Code. It starts by reviewing the procedures outlined in the code's Appendix W - Load Estimating. Then, the framing plans of an actual simple two-story house will be used to select all framing members required to satisfy the code requirements for the roof, ceiling, floors, walls, headers, girders, and, finally, the foundations and footings. The span tables in the code will be used to make those selections. The attendees that will find this class most useful are those who perform the tasks of project price estimating and those who develop construction drawings. In addition, framers who must size and select their own framing members will also benefit greatly from this course. Designations: AB, AA, AR, ARS
