Several of the three-minute videos in this library are separated into two audience categories: “builder customer” and “framer customer.” The code required to embed the video on your company’s website is provided with each video below. Review the Toolbox Guidance Documents to explore how these videos can be used to promote specific products or your overall marketing campaign in conjunction with other CM Toolbox materials.
This project overview graphic provides a quick visual representation of the time, labor and waste benefits of using components as well as a more in-depth look into the specific savings in each area based on both the 1995 and 2015 Framing the American Dream studies. This full-page infographic is great to use as a leave-behind with customers or presentation attendees to illustrate the full benefits of framing with components.
In each Framing the American Dream study, two identical buildings were framed, providing an apples-to-apples comparison of stick and component framing methods. This infographic focuses on what we learned in each area by the numbers.
The 2015 Framing the American Dream study was unique in its use of floor panel systems. This infographic looks specifically at the labor savings of installing floor panels versus the floor installation in the stick-built home.
The results of the Framing the American Dream study looked closely at the total number of hours, broken into discreet framing tasks, to determine how long it took a framing crew to complete each home. This infographic makes the person-hour savings of using components clear at a glance.
The Framing the American Dream study shows that a stick-framed house creates nearly 30 times more jobsite waste than a component-framed house.
This time-lapse video provides a side-by-side comparison of two identical homes being framed. The only difference between them is the house on the left was stick-framed on site, while the house on the right was framed using floor trusses, wall panels and roof trusses. The video provides clear proof that structural components are the better way to frame.
Each year at BCMC, SBCA inducts a member(s) into the Hall of Fame. Each recipient is selected for this honor by the vote of industry peers and is recognized as contributing significantly to the advancement of SBCA and the component industry.

Framing the American Dream data suggests that installing roof trusses completes the task of framing a building’s roof in less time, requires less framer skill and experience, and ultimately results in a roof that enables more open and flexible floor plans.
Reach your builder customers with this short, informative video that highlights the benefits of using roof trusses.
Many thanks to MiTek for generously funding the production of this video.
Framing the American Dream data suggests that installing wall panels completes the task of framing a building’s walls in a fifth the time, requires less skill and experience and ultimately allows framing crews to complete more wall projects over time.
