Contractor-Method Shed Capstone
A complete accessory-structure learning sequence from site and approvals through floor, walls, roof, dry-in and professional handoff.
Entry requirements
- —Residential Framing Fundamentals or equivalent experience
- —Approved project documents for live work
- —Qualified supervision and site-specific safety plan
Competencies
- ◆Translate a performance brief into coordinated project controls.
- ◆Build and verify a floor and wall system.
- ◆Explain roof geometry and execute an approved roof plan.
- ◆Maintain water-control continuity at roof, wall and openings.
- ◆Complete systems inspection and owner handoff.
Work it in order.
18 hours of guided lesson and field work are mapped below. Capstone completion may require additional project time.

Course capstone
Documented accessory-structure build
Complete a supervised shed build or full documentation simulation using approved local requirements and product instructions.
Required deliverables
- 1.Site and approval packet
- 2.Foundation and framing inspection records
- 3.Roof plan and fall-protection brief
- 4.Water-path and opening documentation
- 5.Closed punch list and owner packet
Scope and approvals
Constraints, assumptions and local approval gates are resolved.
15%
Structural execution
Foundation, floor, walls and roof match approved documents.
30%
Weather control
Roof, wall and opening layers maintain outward drainage.
20%
Safety and work control
Task planning, access, lifting and fall controls are documented.
20%
Closeout quality
Inspection, corrections and handoff records are complete.
15%
Assessment rule: 80% overall is the mastery target, but any unresolved safety, structural, code, or function-critical defect prevents capstone completion until corrected and rechecked.
