Welcome back to the Build Show! Today, Travis takes us on a job site walk to highlight smart framing practices—and point out where builders may be “doing too much.” From extra cripples that add thermal bridging, to unnecessary headers, ladder blocking, and over-framed soffits, Travis breaks down where efficiency can save time, money, and materials without sacrificing strength or quality. He also shares best practices, like placing headers in the rim joist, simplifying soffit framing, and floating basement walls to account for slab heave. The big takeaway? Build smarter, not harder—focus effort where it matters most to deliver stronger, faster, and more cost-effective projects.
