Division 6 - Wood, Plastics, and Composites

 Wood Framing - Creating a material list for wood framing in wood, plastics, and composites construction requires a systematic approach to ensure accuracy and completeness. Begin by thoroughly reviewing architectural and structural drawings to understand the scope of work and specifications for the wood framing components. Identify the types of lumber needed, such as dimensional lumber (2x4s, 2x6s, etc.), engineered wood products (LVL, glulam beams), and specialty items like trusses or joists. Calculate quantities meticulously based on the dimensions of the building plan, taking into account lengths, cuts, and any allowances for waste. Consider additional materials such as fasteners (nails, screws, bolts), connectors, and hardware required for assembly. Utilize industry standards and local building codes to ensure compliance and structural integrity. Organize the material list in a clear format that facilitates procurement, delivery scheduling, and on-site assembly. Regular updates and reviews of the list will help manage project timelines and budget effectively, ensuring the smooth execution of the wood framing construction phase.

Engineered Wood Products - Creating a material list for engineered wood products in wood, plastics, and composites construction involves a methodical approach to ensure precision and suitability for the project's structural requirements. Start by thoroughly examining architectural and structural drawings to identify where engineered wood products such as LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber), glulam beams, and I-joists are needed. Specify the types and grades of engineered wood products required based on load-bearing calculations, spans, and other design considerations provided in the plans. Calculate quantities accurately, considering dimensions, lengths, and any necessary adjustments for cuts and waste. Consult manufacturer specifications and design standards to select the appropriate products that meet regulatory requirements and project specifications. Organize the material list in a structured format that facilitates procurement, delivery coordination, and integration with other building components. Regularly update and review the list to ensure it aligns with project timelines and budget constraints, promoting efficient construction of the wood, plastics, and composites components.

Plastic Fabrication - Creating a material list for plastic fabrication in wood, plastics, and composites construction involves a detailed assessment of project requirements and specifications. Begin by thoroughly reviewing architectural and design drawings to identify all plastic components needed, such as sheets, panels, profiles, and specialized fittings. Specify the types of plastics required, considering factors like durability, weather resistance, and aesthetic qualities suitable for the intended application. Calculate quantities accurately based on dimensions provided in the drawings, including allowances for cuts, joints, and waste. Select plastics that comply with industry standards and building codes, ensuring they meet structural and safety requirements. Collaborate with suppliers or manufacturers to determine the most appropriate materials and finishes for the project. Organize the material list in a clear format that facilitates procurement, fabrication, and installation sequencing. Regular updates and reviews of the list will help manage project timelines and budget effectively, ensuring the successful integration of plastic components into the overall construction process.
