аааа Х Remodeling and carpentry-related framing work on concrete, brick and steel buildings.

аааа Х Wood framed building renovation and remodeling projects when the skeleton framework is not being modified or altered.

аааа Typical projects include, but are not limited to:

аааа Х Interior building demolition ("strip outs") involving only the removal of interior walls, partitions, interior trim, cabinetry, doors, flooring and related construction materials;

аааа Х Converting a room from one use to another, such as a bedroom to a study, or a garage to a family room;

аааа Х Enlarging or reconfiguring a room by removing or adding an interior wall;

аааа Х Upgrading a kitchen or bathroom;

аааа Х Adding structures such as a wooden deck to an existing building, screening a porch, installing a wood patio cover, or assembling sheet metal tool or garden sheds.

аааа Contractors subject to this classification use a variety of dimensional lumber and wood products, light weight metal studs and plastic and fiber reinforced boards, metal fasteners (nails, screws and bolts), and metal reinforcing or support straps such as joist hangers and post brackets.

аааа This classification includes:

аааа Х Framing of wood structures with light weight metal studs.

аааа Х Installation of earthquake tie downs on residential buildings.

аааа Х Specialty service providers or contractors engaged in providing general repair services or performing remodeling projects on buildings and structures.

аааа Contractors who alter, remodel or repair existing structures and have opted to report their construction activities under this single subclassification 0516-00 are not to be assigned any other construction classification with the exception of roof work or roofing which is to be reported separately in classification 0507-05.

аааа Special note: Businesses assigned to this classification are distinguishable from those assigned to classification 0516-02, in that 0516-02 requires each phase of construction to be reported separately in the appropriate construction classification(s).

аааа Contractors that build new wood structural additions as part of a remodeling contract must also report each phase separately. They must use classification 0510-00 to report the new framing. All other phases of the construction must be reported separately in the appropriate classification(s) as noted in the text of classification 0516-02.

аааа Contractors that build new structural additions and also repair and remodel existing structures will be assigned both 0510-00 and 0516-02 in addition to any other appropriate classification. 0516-00 will not be assigned to these employers.
