Altitude Adjustment | Episode 4 - A Mix of Onsite and Offsite Framing
In Episode 4 of our series Altitude Adjustment, Stephanie and the team dive into the balance between cutting-edge digital construction tools and tried-and-true traditional framing methods. This episode showcases how Builders FirstSource’s Ready Frame system and 3D modeling technology help identify and resolve over a hundred potential conflicts—saving time, money, and rework before construction even begins But technology alone doesn’t build a house. Stephanie explains why the crew chose to frame the basement traditionally, tackling real-world challenges like uneven concrete, radiant heating systems, and recessed shower floors. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at how digital tools provide clarity, allowing adjustments for details like window sills, electrical placements, and even decorative beam solutions—ensuring the home’s design integrity and homeowner satisfaction From framing choices to the integration of a stunning infinity-edge spool overlooking the lake, Episode 4 highlights how modern innovation and craftsmanship come together to “know better, build better.” Follow Stephanie on Instagram.
