2) Wide-flange steel beams are commonly used with wood floor framing.

3) Long, solid wooden beams are placed in sections, with the ends falling over the center of a post, and 1/2″ clearance provided at the ends to allow for expansion and contraction.

4) Most exterior wall framing has 2 by 4 studs spaced 16″ OC

5) Window and door headers are usually the same distance from the floor, and are supported by trimmer studs nailed to common studs.

6) A 15 and 1/4″ measurement is often used for placing the first wall stud in a 16″ OC layout to ensure that the edges of standard-size panels will fall over stud centers.
