Now that the demolition work is complete on the upper floor the next step is to frame the walls. The process begins by carefully measuring and marking the floor for the walls. This is called laying out the walls. All the framing materials are metal rather than wood. Then a “track” is connected to the floor using special nails and tool that can attach the sheet metal track to the concrete floor. The wall studs are attached to the floor track with screws. When all the framing is complete plumbing, electrical, communications, and other systems will be added before the sheetrock is attached.
