Use of \(ood in New Housing in California - 1946

By Henry J. Vaux, Forest Economist; and Richard H Muy, Foiester

Californio Forest and Range Experiment Stotion r in the average house been 'rgsponsible for the apparent decline in unit wood requirements ? ''

How much wood does it take to build the average house now being erected? Contractors and dealers in building rnaterials can estimate wood requirements for specific structures with a fair degree of accuracy. For those who are interested in the broader aspects of, the residential construction market, little precise information has been available on the characteristics of the average new house and on the quantities of wood needed to build it.

But such information has recently been compiled in a survey by the California Forest and Range Experiment Station. In {946, the survey showed, the average new onefamily house in California required about 9,000 board feet of lumber. F ifteen years earlier, estimated requiretnents were about 14,500 board feet.

The answers to these and similar questionS are imporfant to those interested in the outlook for lumber markets during the, next f,ew years, and .alsq to those concerneil with the longer run pqoblem of' how much lumber our'. forest resource will need to produce in future decades. Data compiled by the Experirnent Station are far from. exhaustive, but they do bring out some of the major features involved in recent changes in the use of wood products for new residential construction. In this stuily, type. of construction, dwelling size, and kind of dwelling were determined for 3,6O3 new structures' as'reporte{ in building permits. In additioh, variations in the amount of wood used were studied in detail on plans for 93 new residential buildings. The.sample of buildings was drawn at random', from twenty California communities representing a wide range of community size and locatiqn. It included 3.7 percent of all new dwelling units built in California during 1946.

;'

A simple comparison of these figures suggests a decline in the use of lumber for California housing which is of major, significance to the lumber industry. It raises numbrous questio.ts as to why such a decrease has taken place. Have competitive.building materials made serious inroads into this important segment of lumber markets ? Have methods of design and construction changed so radically that lumber used per house has been sharply curtailed? Or, have other factors afiecting the use of wood Service at Berkeley, Calif., in coChlifornia.

Types of construction

lMaintained by,the U. S. Forest -operation with the University of structures in which wood was not the principal framing material. single-family concrete block, adobe, and euon- set type homes accounted for most of the non-wood frame construction.

About 72 percett of these new dwellings w.ere convehtional single-family wood'frame homes. An additional 18 percent were in two-farnily or apartment-type wood frame buildings. Less than 10 pereent of the new units were.

One quarter of all the new houses used wood for the principal exterior material. It was especially popular for single-family homes in the San Francisco Bay area, .where over 4O percent of the new one-family structures were sided with wood. fn contrast,'over 74 percent of singlefamily houses in southern California u"a gZ perceni of the two-family and apartment-type dwellings throughout the State had stucco or other non-wood exteriors.

Wood shingle roofs were found on approxiinately onehalf of the sample structures, making this the most popular single form of roofing material. Composition shingles, tar and gravel, and tile roofs ,were ne4t in order of popularity. The use of wood shingles as a siding material in new California homes was not common in 1946, Wood siding appeared to be preferred for exterior uses. 'Where shingles were used as a siding material, they were frequently bmployed in conjunction with wood siding for decorative effects.

Drvelling size

Altliough the size of individual homes is subject to a vvide variety of influences, certain definite size characteristics were noticed. For example, in the San Francisco Bay area the average new one-family home containecl a total permit area2 of 1,530 square feet, compared witir only 1,070 square feet elsewhere in the State. Similarly, for cities with 20p00 or more drvelling units in 1940, the average one-family dwelling contained 1,200 square fe€t, compared with only 1,100 square feet in srhaller communities. Wood-frame houses with stucco exteriors were larger, on the average, than wood siding, concrete block, and other structural types. For the State as a whole, the average total permit a:ea of all nevf residential buildings (including multi-family dn'ellings) built during 1946 was estimated aF. 1,290 square feet.

Variations in wood use

The effects of differences in size, type of construction, and other {actors on the volume of wood used in a house depend to some extent on the particular wood item to be considered. Requirements for interior finish lumber depend primarily on the size of the dwelling. Other factors, such as"type of construction or location, make little difference in the amount of finish and trim which is used. Rough lumber needs, on the other hand, vary with size, type of construction, location, and kind of dwelling. Siding and shingle. requirements depend on both size and type of construction.

Examples of the results of such variations can be seen in the following figures which show the amount of different kinds of material used in the average single-family dwelling in different parts of California.

'Total permit area is the product of the gross dimensions stated . bn the building permit mriltiplied by the number of stories in the dwelling. It overStates actual floor area by 20 to'30 percent. However, it is closely related to actual floof area and is used as a ureasure of size because it can be readily determined from building r 'permits.
