3. Air Barrier
It is a membrane attached to control air leakage into and out of the building. It is an essential component in a building

component and air assemblies. They takes a lot of forms which can be mechanically membrane,

These are the necessary requirement in carpentry but they do not require an illustration or

How to estimate framing materials.
Construction materials estimation starts with counting of the frame lumbers .for the wall we
count the number of stud, horizontal plates for both top and bottom of the wall and the number of sheets of the requir
The takeoff of carpentry construction is first done by sketching the wall frame and identify
overall height and length of the wall and sizes of opening like doors and windows. The following is the interior plan o

The dimensions of the garage that needs to be furnished is; exterior dimensions is length of 50.75 feet, width 36.75 fe
36.25 and the height of 14 ft. The floor and ceiling plan are shown below.

Figure 3.Roof plan
2. Calculating the studs.
The number of studs required for the project is calculated by use of this procedure; the total wall length is determined
to opening 5 feet wide and to the total add 15 % for wasted material.
3. Estimating the plywood sheathing.
To calculate the number of 5 by 8 inches sheets of sheathing required for framing, first the area of the wall is determin
by 40 and value rounded to nearest whole number which is the number of sheets to cover the
whole area.
