'''Framing''' is [[carpentry]] work done on a [[building]] after the [[foundation]] is laid. It forms the rough structure of the building, usually consisting of vertical studs, horizontal joists, and (often) rafters set at an angle to support the roof. Part of the work done by framers includes adding sheathing to the outside and subflooring on the joists.
An alternate framing technique to the "stick construction" described above is called [[post and beam]], which was used on many older buildings and is sometimes still used today for various reasons.
Most larger buildings are "framed" with steel [[girder]]s and [[prestressed concrete]] panels.
