2. Rough Framing, Walls Walls are one of the most important parts of a structure, therefore wall framing is one of the most important activity’s of the construction process. Beside the obvious reasons that make walls important (e.g. supporting the roof, exterior materials, and etc.) there is also the fact that many other activities of the construction process can not proceed until completion of the framing. Every project is different so the duration and quantity of framing will depend on the size of the project.
