0510-00 Wood frame building: Construction or alterations, N.O.C.

Applies to contractors engaged in wood frame building construction or alterations not covered by another classification (N.O.C.). For the purposes of this classification, wood frame building construction means buildings erected exclusively of wood or wood products. This classification includes all building framing activities done in connection with wood frame building construction including:

• Placement of roof trusses;

• Sheathing roofs;

• Installation of exterior building siding;

• Installation of exterior doors and door frames;

• Installation of windows, window frames, and skylights when performed by framing workers as part of the framing contract on a wood frame building;

• Erection of log home shells at customer's location.

The manufacturing of log homes in a permanent yard which includes peeling the logs, notching the logs with chainsaws, and assembly is to be reported in classification 1003-06.

This classification excludes all other phases of wood frame building construction not listed as part of the framing activities above such as, but not limited to:

• Site preparation and excavation (0101);

• Overhead or underground utilities, asphalt work, or concrete work which is to be reported separately in the applicable classification;

• New landscape work (0301);

• Brick work (0302);

• Stucco work (0303);

• Plumbing work (0306);

• HVAC work (0307);

• Carpet and tile work (0502);

• Exterior painting (0504);

• Roof work (0507);

• Insulation work (0512);

• Interior finish carpentry - Interior doors, cabinets, fixtures or molding (0513);

• Installation of garage doors (0514);

• Installation of sheet metal siding, gutters, and nonstructural sheet metal patio covers/carports (0519);

• Interior painting (0521);

• Electrical work (0601); and

• Wallboard installation, taping or texturing which are to be reported separately in the applicable classifications. For a more thorough description of the activities included and excluded from wood frame building construction, review the Construction Industry Guide.

Special note: Classification 0510 also includes wood frame building alterations or remodel work when the activity involves building new additions. The term "new additions" is defined as adding on to an existing wood frame building (upwards or outwards) in which the use of structural supports and main bearing beams is required. This is distinguishable from classification 0516 - Building repair or carpentry work that typically does not require the placement of structural supports or main bearing beams. The purpose of classification 0516 is to build or rebuild with nonstructural or bearing beams, or to replace an existing portion (including existing structural and bearing beams) of a wood frame building for appearances or as a result of deterioration to make it appear new again. Care should be exercised as the terminology to build, rebuild, remodel, construct or reconstruct is irrelevant to assignment of classification which should recognize what the project actually involves.

Guidelines:

• Altering all or part of an existing wood frame building by adding on new additions - 0510;

• Constructing a new wood frame building that never existed - 0510;

• Remodeling all or part of an existing wood frame building without adding on new additions - 0516;

• Altering all or part of an existing wood garage by adding on new additions - 0510;

• Altering the existing interior of a wood frame building by adding exterior additions - 0510;

• Constructing a new wood garage that never existed - 0510;

• Constructing, altering, or remodeling the interiors of nonwood frame buildings - 0516;

• Constructing a new wood carport or wood shed that never existed - 0510;

• Constructing or replacing a wood deck for any type of nonwood building - 0516;

• Constructing or replacing a wood deck on an existing wood house - 0516;

• Construction of a new wood deck by the framing contractor when a new wood house is being built - 0510;

• Installation of windows, window frames, and skylights when performed by framing workers as part of the framing contract of a wood frame building - 0510;

• Installation of nonmetal siding on a new wood frame building or a new addition - 0510;

• Installation of nonmetal siding on an existing structure by:

- A siding contractor – 0510;

- A remodeling contractor with subclassification 0516-02 – 0510;

- A remodeling contractor with subclassification 0516-00 – 0516-00;

• Rebuilding an existing wood carport or wood shed (all or part) with or without new additions - 0516;

• Remodeling all or part of an existing wood garage without adding on new additions - 0516;

• Remodeling the existing interior of a wood frame building without adding exterior additions - 0516.
