What unit of measure is used for plywood when it is used for sheathing? How is plywood waste kept to a minimum?

What will be an ideal response?


The unit of measure for plywood when it is used as sheathing is the number of sheets required. The thickness, identification marks, veneer grades, and any species grade noted should also be listed.

Plywood waste can be kept to a minimum by planning the sheet layout for the project so that there are a minimum number of cuts that have to be made and so that the carpenter knows ahead of time whether a cut piece can be used elsewhere on the project.
