Design of the shed walls with doors and/or windows, including materials list.
Industry standard for the layout of framing.
Cutting wall studs and floor joists to correct sizes.
Nailing framing together.
Nailing plywood to framing.
Design and assembly of roof trusses, including materials list.
Design and assembly and installation of doors and windows.
Construct the building on site:
a. Stand walls in place.
b. Place roof trusses in proper location.
c. Nail plywood to the roof.
d. Install roof shingles.
e. Trim corners and complete finish work.




Students in Building Construction will develop the ability to:
-- Design of a shed floor and develop the materials list,
-- Design of shed walls and develop the materials list,
-- Layout of framing members according to the industry standard,
-- Cut framing materials to proper length,
-- Nail framing materials together and install plywood,
-- Assemble roof trusses according to the industry standard,
Install plywood on the roof.
-- Install roof shingles according to the industry standard,
-- Complete the finish work of the shed project.




All students will:
-- Design a shed and develop a materials list,
-- Layout the framing according to the industry standard,
-- Install roof trusses, roof plywood and roof shingles according to the industry standard,
-- Complete a shed project.





Effort/attitude/participation = 50% of grade
Assessed daily, recorded as a weekly grade

Assigned Drawing Projects = 50% of grade
Assessed for quality of workmanship

Shed will be designed as a class project. Students will be assessed by evaluation of the class participation, drawings, and class notes.
Materials list for the shed will be developed as a class project. Students will be assessed by evaluation of class participation and accuracy of the materials list.
Framing layout will be assessed by checking the marking of the lumber.
Cutting of materials will be assessed by checking the cut materials.
Nailing and assembly will be assessed by checking work in progress.




Sheds built in this class are for customers, who pay for the materials and accept delivery to their homes.
Transportation of materials to the building site provided by the school.





In many semesters, the students work fast enough to have time to build more than one shed. When this is the case, this unit is repeated as many times as necessary.
