 * Light timber frame:** is typically seen in a older home or two story building build before 1930`s. the system of construction is composed by many small and closely spaced members that could be assembled by nailing.

Platform frame:** is the commonest types of framing used in residential construction today, in platform system each floor is framed separately. The first platform is built on the top of the foundation walls, the walls are then constructed raised on the platform and the second story floor is built. This process is repeated for each floor.
