        "text": "Common materials for interior framing include dimensional lumber (typically spruce, pine, or fir) and light-gauge steel studs. Lumber is a traditional choice, known for its ease of use and availability. Steel studs are often preferred in commercial applications or for their resistance to rot, insects, and fire. The choice of material often depends on project specific needs, such as fire ratings, structural requirements, or environmental conditions, which can influence both cost and installation time.",
