As a building's skeleton, framing defines a structure's shape and arrangement and offers structural support. Framing is an important stage of the building process, regardless of whether a new structure or an existing one is being renovated. Using wood or metal studs, beams, and joists, framing entails constructing the structure for walls, floors, and roofs.

To guarantee that the framework components fit together correctly and support the weight of the structure, careful planning, and accurate measurements are necessary. This stage of construction is usually overseen by skilled carpenters or framing contractors, who use specialized tools and procedures to produce precise and durable frames.

Handling the heavy plasterboard sheets carefully, cutting precisely to fit around windows and doors, and securing the sheeting to the structural members are all necessary for a proper installation. To ensure a tight fit and little spaces between sheets, plasterboard installers secure the plasterboard to the studs or joists using screws or nails. The seams are then covered with tape, mudding, and sanding to produce a smooth surface that is prepared for finishing.
