minus-squareGreatAlbatross@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoAbsolutely, modern construction is often about not using (/spending) more than the spec requires. Basic wood will be lower grade because it doesn’t need to be. And it will be cheaper because of that. C16/C24 will be stronger and less knotty, and will meet a higher spec, for a price.
