What is meant by “Construction Type”?<br />
Construction Type refers to the material used in the loadbearing<br />
parts <strong>of</strong> a building. These materials typically are<br />
concrete, steel, or wood.<br />
In addition to the type <strong>of</strong> material used, the construction type<br />
label will include a number to indicate the fire rating <strong>of</strong> the<br />
construction.<br />
For example, Type V (111) indicates wood construction <strong>and</strong> a<br />
one-hour fire rating <strong>of</strong> the building.
