Altitude Adjustment | Episode 5 - Raising the Roof and Walls: Offsite Pre-Cut Lumber to Onsite Framing
In Episode 5 of our series Altitude Adjustment, Stephanie takes us from the digital world to the job site — where the plans, models, and tools come to life. After months of virtual coordination, the team begins framing the home using Builders FirstSource’s Ready Frame system, transforming precision digital designs into pre-cut, efficiently packaged lumber. Stephanie walks us through how Ready Frame streamlines construction, reduces waste, and saves time — even on a highly complex custom build. Joined by Justin and Terry from Builders FirstSource, she explores lessons learned, innovations in smart bundling, and how collaboration between digital modeling and real-world framing helps builders “know better and build better.” Follow Stephanie on Instagram.
