Conventional Framing Master Course Bundle

  • Bundle
  • 5 Products

The Master Course Bundle is a complete training program in conventional wood framing design based entirely on the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC). It brings together all core structural framing modules into one integrated learning path, guiding students from fundamental load concepts to full construction drawing development.

This bundle is structured to develop both technical competence and practical design judgment. Each module builds upon the others so that, by the end of the program, students understand not only how to size members—but how the entire structural system works together as a continuous load path.
