What is smart framing?
Optimum value engineering (OVE) or smart framing is a combination of design and building techniques that use less lumber used to build a house. This saves money for the builder, the homeowner and leaves a smaller carbon footprint. Isn’t green building a lot of trouble? If you consult with a green builder and the third party certifier before you start your plan building green is not too much trouble. Your builder will need to be educated in green certification procedures and have the correct resources as well as the right frame of mind.
