There’s an apartment complex being built by me and they have most, if not all the framing done. At my job, there’s a huge emphasis on keeping white wood lumber from getting wet because it will ruin the wood. But whenever I drive by this construction site, I see so many studs just exposed. It’s rained a decent amount since they began the project, so I’m wondering if any of the studs are damaged or will become in the future. How will they last the building lifespan after being soaked?
It is currently pouring as I type this and I can’t help but think what damage is currently being done. Someone put my mind at ease lol.
In: Engineering
once the building is “dried in” (roof, walls and windows) the interior work hasn’t been done yet, and the wood dries out pretty quickly before they drywall. they will install interior walls, electrical and plumbing during this time before drywall, so sometimes it can be weeks of the exterior studs drying out.
