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 chain-saws, 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
				nonstruc-tural 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.
