Which code does this activity belong in?
Framing contractors performing structural work with wood, steel, and other non-concrete materials are classified in this code. The distinction from structural steel and precast concrete contractors lies in the material used; establishments working with structural steel or concrete framing belong in that code instead. Framing contractors may undertake new construction, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repairs, including on-site fabrication of framing components like trusses.
