This document discusses different types of building frame construction materials. It describes wood frame construction as one of the most widely used methods for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings due to its economy, strength, and sustainability. It notes that wood frame elements should be protected from decay and termites. Concrete frame structures are also described as a common construction type where the beams, columns, and other elements are cast together in a single pour. Steel frame construction is mentioned as using prefabricated and bolted or welded steel components suitable for high-rise buildings.
