Forever Home | Episode 5- Wall Framing

In Episode 5 of Forever Home, Steve dives into the on-site impact of Builders FirstSource’s Ready-Frame® system — a fully pre-cut, digitally labeled framing package that dramatically reduces waste, increases accuracy, and accelerates build time. Throughout the episode, Steve interviews the BFS team, Shoreline Builders, and third-generation framer Ryan, all of whom share enthusiastic feedback about how Ready-Frame eliminated job-site cutting, improved material quality, and cut framing time nearly in half. With cleaner sites, precision-cut components, and seamless coordination from plans to installation, Episode 5 highlights why Ready-Frame is quickly becoming a go-to solution for future projects.

Be sure to watch the first 4 episodes of the series for full context.
