After the two homes were fully framed and dried-in, the thousands of images collected were analyzed to determine the man-hours it took to complete each discreet framing task and how much waste was generated in the process. The results of the Framing the American Dream study are conclusive: The component-framed house required 152.1 man-hours to complete, whereas the stick-framed house required 373.5 hours. It took two and half-times longer to construct the stick-framed version of the floorplan.
Background:
R501.3 (IRC-12) or R302.13 (IRC-15) states the following – “Floor assemblies….shall be provided with a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) gypsum wallboard membrane…… or equivalent…….
SBCA has compiled the articles below to provide a comprehensive guide to the information it has published on R501.3 (from the 2012 IRC) and R302.12 (the same language incorporated in the 2015 IRC). The goal in organizing the information in this way is to enable the reader to fully understand this issue and SBCA’s position.
Question: Why was the IRC changed to provide a 2x10 exclusion from the requirement in R501.3/R302.13 that states, “Floor assemblies….shall be provided with a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) gypsum wallboard membrane”?
