Standard Lumber Grades Cut Construction Costs

Washington, D.C.-Construction engineers can save time and money by ordering standard grades of lumber instead of special grades, Frank J. Hanrahan, ci:ief engineer of the National Lumber Manufacturers Association, advised today.

The ordering of special grades causes delay and boosts the cost of lumber, Mr. Hanrahan explained, because of the extra manufacturing and handling involved. the possibility of errors. and the general break-down of efficiency when mills convert to custom-made items.

N{r. Hanrahan also predicted that in the next 100 years, the wood products industry will at least equal advances made in the manufacture, marketing and use of wood during the past century.

fn connection with standard lumber grades, Mr. Hanrahan declared:

"Today we are in a position to take full advantage of the substantial economies and conservation cf resources which result from the use of a standard rather than a made-toorder article.

"Modern stress grades and inspection have made lumber a true engineering material in every sense of the word. The structural and architectural versatility of lumber has been greatly increased bv glued laminatcd lumber which is also available in standardized commercial grades."

Mr. Hanrahan added that leaders in the wood products industry, by putting greater emphasis on technical activities, are increasing job opportunities for engineers and other technicians.

Construction engineers sholved a keen interest in the subject of standard lumber grades during a two-day wood symposium which Mr. Hanrahan arranged at the Centennial of Engineering Convocation in Chicago last month. Mr. Hanrahan was spe,cially commendecl for the project by the American Society fcr Testing Materials, one of the sponsors of the symposiurr'.
