House-Framing System for Low-Cost Construction
Housing is needed by many people with low incomes in all parts of the country. Low-income persons usually cannot afford to pay for the labor to build their houses and they have difficulty in doing the building themselves because many of the construction methods and standard practices are too complicated. Simplification of the construction methods therefore seems to be a logical way to reduce the cost of a house. There are three major ways that a builder can reduce the cost (cash outlay) for a structure: (1) Design for minimum amount of materials. (2) Select materials for maximum economy. (3) Reduce amount of hired labor needed. The low-cost frame described in this report demonstrates the use of all of these concepts.
