    1. 🏗️ Assembly Steps
      1. Phase 1: Build the Floor Frame (Ground Level)
    • Step 1: Layout Rim Joists**

1. Place both 14' rim joists parallel on sawhorses or blocks 2. Measure to ensure they are exactly 8' apart (outside to outside) 3. Mark joist locations on rim joists at 16" on-center

    • Step 2: Install Floor Joists**

1. Position first floor joist flush with one end 2. Drive 3 screws (or nails) through rim joist into joist end 3. Repeat for all 0 floor joists at marked locations 4. Use framing square to ensure 90° at each connection

    • Step 3: Square the Frame**

1. Measure diagonals (corner to corner) 2. Adjust until diagonals are equal (±1/8") 3. Frame is now square

> ✅ **QC Checkpoint**: Frame should be square, level, and all joists secured.

---

      1. Phase 5: Final QC & Completion
    • Final Inspection Checklist:**

- [ ] All screws/nails driven flush - [ ] No gaps in insulation - [ ] Subfloor is flat and level - [ ] Edges clean and square - [ ] Module ready for transport or installation
