Course Description

Technical and practical experience to complete floor and wall framing of a building including wall layout, wall construction, ceiling joists and an introduction to roof framing. Estimating of materials and basic building layout are also covered. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Practice the operation of a surveyor's transit, chain, and related equipment.
2. Employ the surveyor's transit and equipment in preparation for foundation forming.
3. Prepare and assemble the framing components for the floors, walls and ridge beam of a Hodge Podge Lodge house.
4. Plumb and line walls for straightness and the later application of wall finishes.

Course Objectives

• 1. Practice the operation of a surveyors transit in calculating differential elevations with the Philadelphia surveying rod and Lenker surveying rod.
• 2. Demonstrate proficiency in the operation of a surveyors transit in determining angles with a calculator and surveyors chain
• 3. Demonstrate the ability to stake-out the footprint of a house on a vacant lot from the building plans for the OCC Hodge Podge Lodge house with the surveyors transit, chain, and other equipment.
• 4. Recognize the different types of house foundations and the consequences of the selection of a foundation type on the forming and framing of a home.
• 5. Employ the surveyors transit and equipment to locate the hub stakes and batter boards in preparation for foundation forming.
• 6. Construct the underpinning of a house; including installation of mudsills, placement of girder beams, framing of floor joists with necessary blocking and sub-floor placement.
• 7. Layout, figure and cut the framing components for the flat top walls of the OCC Hodge Podge Lodge house.
• 8. Apply the math necessary to calculate, layout and cut the framing components for the high volume flat top walls and ridge beam location for the OCC Hodge Podge Lodge house.
• 9. Apply the math necessary to calculate, layout and cut the framing components for the rake walls for the OCC Hodge Podge Lodge house.
• 10. Employ industry methods in the construction of the wall framing for the 756 sq. ft. Hodge Podge Lodge, accurately placing headers for doors, windows and effective wall bracing.
• 11. Plumb and line walls for straightness and the later application of wall finishes
• 12. Practice the safe installation of the ridge beam in the OCC Hodge Podge Lodge house.
• 13. Apply the regulations of the Building Codes in the construction of OCC Hodge Podge Lodge.
• 14. Demonstrate many of the efficient framing practices of the southern California home building industry.
