Critical Task: 051-199-4014
OVERVIEW
LESSON DESCRIPTION:
In this lesson, you will learn to estimate material for each of the five components needed to construct a
wall form for concrete. You will estimate the amount of sheathing, the number of studs, the number of
wales, the amount of bracing, and the amount of tie wire.
TERMINAL LEARNING OBJECTIVE:

INTRODUCTION
One of the basic skills in carpentry is the ability to estimate the amount of materials needed to construct
a wall form for concrete. A carpenter must be able to determine the amount of materials needed to
ensure that enough materials are on hand to complete the project. In this lesson, you will be shown how
to compute the amount of material needed to build this structure.
