STRUCTURAL FRAMING STAGE INSPECTION AND CHECKLIST - LCETED

A combination of elements joined together for a useful purpose is called a structure. Structures can be classified in many ways: solid, framed structure, shell, membrane, composite, trusses, cables and arches, surface structure, etc.

In the construction world, 'structure' refers to anything built or constructed of interconnected parts in a fixed place on the ground so It's a good idea to have a checklist and inspection on STRUCTURAL FRAMING STAGE to avoid repairs that delay completion.
