Join Matt Risinger as he dives into innovative building techniques showcased at the Builder’s FirstSource national event. Filmed at a ready-frame house built in just 10 hours, this episode explores cutting-edge methods to improve framing speed, insulation performance, and overall job efficiency.
In this video, Matt and Terry walk through the features of the ready-frame system, which includes inkjet-marked framing components for faster, more accurate assembly. You’ll discover how truss headers improve insulation without compromising strength, and how staggered stud walls significantly enhance soundproofing while creating energy-efficient spaces. The team also highlights the use of floor and roof trusses for better ducting and mechanical layouts and demonstrates how engineered lumber like LSL and LVL can deliver straighter walls and reduce common issues like header shrinkage. Additionally, they discuss advanced sheathing techniques using Zip System R6 panels to provide a built-in thermal break, and the use of 3x4 studs in shear walls to meet strict seismic and hurricane codes while speeding up inspections.
Whether you’re a builder, designer, or enthusiast, this video is packed with insights and practical applications that can transform the way you frame homes. Don’t miss Matt’s first-hand experience with these game-changing techniques and materials!
