GOALS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION
Theory:33
i)
Given a complete set of frame
and construction drawings for a small (3-4 bay) timber frame, learners will
highlight all timber-framed elements that interface with the work of general
carpenters. Learners will determine appropriate tolerances for these areas of
interface, and methods for ensuring that the work will flow smoothly on site.
This will be discussed in a group setting, with an experienced general
carpenter. 34
Practical:35
ii)
Learners will de-brief the
construction of a timber framed building with the general carpenters who
performed the work.

Working with an experienced
electrical contractor who is accustomed to wiring timber frames, learners will
discuss the interface of electrical and timber-framing trades. Discussion will
focus on strategies for ensuring a smooth interface between trades, and
techniques for ensuring effective rough-in at site. Learners will discuss ways
that timber frames can be shop-cut to allow for electrical chases and review
common details for this. 142
