• Check rough carpentry specs for framing member size, spacing, and treatment.
• Finish carpentry often includes casework, trim, and crown molding requirements.
• Division 06 also contains engineered wood — look for plywood, LVLs, and glulam specs.
• Verify all fire-retardant and pressure-treated requirements for structural wood.
• Plastic fabrications, like countertops or FRP panels, are often listed near cabinetry.

1. What does Division 06 cover?
   Answer: Rough and finish carpentry, engineered wood, plastic fabrications, and composite products.
2. Why is it important to verify framing specs?
   Answer: Specs define size, spacing, and treatment requirements that affect code compliance and durability.
3. What are common types of engineered wood listed in specs?
   Answer: LVLs, glulams, plywood, and sometimes OSB — all with specific usage guidelines.
4. Where might you find FRP panels or solid surface countertops?
   Answer: Under Division 06 near cabinetry and plastic fabrications.
5. What standard might apply to finish carpentry?
   Answer: AWI (Architectural Woodwork Institute) standards for quality, tolerances, and appearance.

Division 06: Wood, Plastics & Composites

🔹 Key Teaching Points

1️⃣ Rough Carpentry Specs Matter

• Check framing member size, spacing, and treatment (pressure-treated or fire-retardant).
• Specs define structural performance — don’t rely on drawings alone.

2️⃣ Finish Carpentry = Visual Impact

• Includes casework, crown molding, trim, and baseboards.
• AWI standards or specific wood species may be listed — check tolerance requirements.

3️⃣ Engineered Wood Lives Here Too

• Plywood, LVLs (Laminated Veneer Lumber), glulam beams — specs define usage and sizing.
• Verify if substitutions like OSB are allowed.

4️⃣ Fire-Retardant & Pressure-Treated Wood

• Exterior, wet, or code-sensitive areas often require treated materials.
• Specs may require fire rating stamps and certification on delivery.

5️⃣ Plastics and FRP Belong Here

• Plastic fabrications like countertops or FRP panels show up in this Division.
• Often paired with cabinetry in finish carpentry specs — easy to overlook.

✅ Wrap-Up Summary

• Division 06 covers all wood, trim, engineered lumber, and composite materials.
• Specs affect structure, aesthetics, durability, and compliance.
• Verify both structural and finish details — it's more than just 2x4s!
