I traveled to Park City, Utah, to visit one of my favorite people in the industry, Stephanie Dailey (Steven Dailey Construction). We walked through a custom home project that is pushing the limits of framing. When you combine high seismic activity, 100lb+ snow loads, high winds coming off the lake, and a cliffside lot, the engineering gets complicated fast.

Stephanie breaks down how her team is handling massive steel ridge beams, 6-foot snow-load overhangs using engineered lumber, and some of the biggest hold-downs I've ever seen. We also look at how the framers and engineers solved a complex truss height issue on the fly and why attention to detail—like rolling your tape—matters on a job of this caliber.
