SITE FRAMED ROOF FRAMING
SYSTEM:
Builders often refer to roof framing which is
built at the site as "stick frame" or
"cut and stack" systems. Generally
this system of rafters is supported by inner
load-bearing walls sitting on footings as well
as the outer walls. There are many components
involved in site framed systems. Be aware that
the inspector cannot review or report on
conditions that are not visible. Insulation
covering parts of the framing system prevents
total review of the structural integrity of
building. Truss clips, hurricane ties and other
important anchoring devices often cannot be seen
by the inspector due to insulation, drywall,
plaster, vapor barriers, etc. Contact the
inspector for additional information concerning
this inspection limitation if you desire.
