Mike Conneely walks through five common framing issues that can create long-term problems in a custom home if they aren’t addressed early in construction. He explains how straight wall framing, accurate rough openings, and flat subfloors all affect finish quality, from cabinetry and flooring to windows and doors. Conneely also highlights the importance of continuous load paths, proper structural support around openings, and maintaining level ceiling transitions throughout the home. Using examples from an active jobsite, he shows how engineered lumber, careful layout, and early quality control help avoid costly corrections later in the build process.
