Type V construction is

Type V construction is

• A. Steel frame construction
• B. Wood frame construction
• C. Concrete block construction
• D. Glass and steel combined

Answer: (B)

Wood-frame construction is what Type V refers to. In building-code classifications, Type V is the category for structures that use wood framing as the primary structural system. That makes it the common choice for most houses and small residential buildings because wood is lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective. The other options describe systems that are noncombustible or belong to different construction philosophies (steel frame, concrete block, or glass-and-steel assemblies), which are associated with other Type classifications. So the description that matches Type V is wood frame construction.
