What is Class Code 5645?
Class code 5645 covers carpentry work on detached single-family dwellings, including framing, rough carpentry, and general carpentry on standalone residential structures. This is one of the highest-rated carpentry codes due to the combination of fall hazards from residential roof framing, the use of nail guns and power saws, and the physical demands of residential framing work. In Florida, residential construction is a major industry, particularly in high-growth areas like Orlando, Tampa, and South Florida.
